Campaign warns on camp decision

Kenya's decision to close down refugee camps sheltering mainly Somali and South Sudan refugees, is likely to put innocent lives at risk, a medical humanitarian agency said on Saturday.

Medecins Sans Fronti��res (MSF) called on the government to reconsider its drastic decision and continue providing humanitarian assistance to more than 600,000 refugees in the East African nation.

"This is not the first time the government has made such statements regarding the forcible return of refugees," Liesbeth Aelbrecht, MSF head of mission in Kenya said in a statement issued in Nairobi.
