Rainy Season Threatens Kenya's Internally Displaced (1/2)
Flooding is a yearly concern in Kenya. Since the onset of rains this year, at least seven people have been killed in floods. The coastal district of Taveta, has been the worst-affected, with close to 8,000 people displaced.
Nyanza province, near Lake Victoria in the country's west, has also been hit hard. A cholera outbreak there has so far killed 39.
So far rainfall has been low compared to recent years, and the damage from flooding has not been particularly severe. But what is concerning say relief officials is the threat to the people living in Kenya's displacement camps.
Political and ethnic violence following December's disputed presidential elections caused hundreds of thousands to flee their homes, with some 200,00 now staying in camps.
Anthony Mwangi of the Kenya Red Cross Society, says camp residents, particularly children, are at risk from heavy rain.
"The shelters in IDP camps would not be able to provide very good cover as far as cold is concerned so we are likely going to experience certain challenges in the form of health issues such as pneumonia, colds, malaria."
参考译文：
洪灾是肯尼亚每年的顾虑。从今年雨季的开始，洪水已夺去至少7人的生命。塔维塔（Taveta）沿海地区受灾最严重，近8000人流离失所。
在肯尼亚西部靠近维多利亚湖的Nyanza省，同样受灾严重。到目前为止，霍乱爆发造成39人死亡。
目前的降雨总量与往年持平，洪水的危害也不是特别的严重。但是，赈灾的官员说我们所关心的是住在肯尼亚避难所中的群众的威胁。
由于12月总统选举的分歧引起的政治暴力和民间暴力致使成百上千的人流离失所，约2万人留在避难所中。
肯尼亚红十字会的安东尼·姆旺吉（Anthony Mwangi）说，避难所里的居民，特别是儿童，正承受暴雨带来的危险。
“就御寒而言，在国内难民的避难所中不可能提供非常好的被子，所以我们可能将经历卫生问题的某些挑战，诸如肺炎，伤风，疟疾。”
