“This is the second office we have opened in two days. The first one was inaugurated yesterday in Samburu and this one in Marsabit today. Next year, marking the 60th anniversary of the Kenya Red Cross, I plan to launch several projects in Marsabit County, including an operational hub for disaster response in Moyale.” — Dr. Ahmed Idris, Secretary General, Kenya Red Cross.
Our vehicles have been attacked.
Staff and volunteers injured.
We have no contact or role in transporting persons other than the injured.
The rumours must stop. We can't provide life-saving interventions without access and safety for our staff and volunteers.
It is crucial that we are granted access to continue our humanitarian efforts without hindrance.
It is quite unfair that we are being accused of whisking members of parliament while our staff and volunteers put their lives in danger to provide critical medical care to those in need. #NotATarget
Recently, families in Merti South and North were displaced due to the overflow of River Ewaso Nyiro.
Today, we extended support by providing essential supplies such as tarpaulins, kitchen sets, water treatment chemicals and other vital items to aid these affected families.

@NationBreaking tuko pamoja @JimiWanjigi at least you have balls. as Kenyans we need to shun the mentality that leadership is just for a chosen few. We r not in short supply of brains and leadership skills. Tuwache kuwa na the "kondoo" mentality
