New camp stands idle and closed as Somali refugees pour into Kenya

The new Ifo II camp was built to try and ease the severe overcrowding in Dadaab, where camps designed for 90,000 people now shelter over 380,000. Yet despite the influx of new arrivals, Ifo II remains empty as the Government of Kenya has refused to allow people to move in. Water systems, latrines and healthcare facilities are ready to use but are standing idle. Another planned extension known as Ifo III has also stalled. Meanwhile 60,000 new refugees are sheltering a few kilometres away and desperately need services such as these.
