Kenya Red Cross assists refugees fleeing Moyale border clashes

The Kenya Red Cross Society (KRCS) has initiated an emergency response operation to assist families fleeing into Marsabit County following renewed clashes in the border town of Moyale. Fighting across the border in Ethiopia has forced many civilians to cross into Kenya seeking safety and shelter.

KRCS Secretary General Dr. Ahmed Idris stated that the organization’s primary objective is to ensure the safety and dignity of the displaced families. Staff and volunteers are currently on the ground providing necessary aid. The organization indicated that it will continue to monitor the situation and adjust its response efforts as humanitarian needs continue to evolve in the area.
