From WFP in Kenya's logistics hub in Mombasa, food is moving fast to families fleeing conflict from places like Sudan & eastern DRC. But displacement is surging, hunger is rising, & support is falling short. Without urgent support, we will not reach the people who need us most.

Imagine surviving on just 3kg of rice, 800g of lentils, and half a litre of oil, for an entire month. That’s the reality for refugees in Kenya today. How would you portion it? What would you cook first? Would it last? #FoodForLife #RefugeeCrisis #WFP #ZeroHunger

In #Kenya, over 700,000 refugees rely on WFP in Kenya to survive. But with just 40% of a full food ration available, hunger is deepening and malnutrition is on the rise. Without urgent funding, the situation will only worsen. Mercy Juma explains ⤵️

Yesterday, I witnessed the power of #KenyasDigitalInvestigators. I set out to identify a cop who shot a bystander in broad daylight. But I immediately realised, I couldn't. Someone had beaten me to it. Kenyans across the country did the digging themselves…
