United Nations : The United Nations on Wednesday expressed concern about the “deteriorating humanitarian situation” in Kenya, where hundreds of people have been killed in violence following a controversial presidential election.
Michele Montas, spokeswoman for UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, told reporters that the organization’s office in Nairobi issued a press release on the situation.
“The humanitarian access has become a major problem” in Kenya, according to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
Violence has spread across Kenya since last week’s elections, in which incumbent President Mwai Kibaki was declared the winner. His challenger in the election was Raila Odinga.
Supporters of the two politicians have clashed violently across the country, causing mass displacement, assault of women and children, food shortages and destruction of homes and property.
