Conflicts between refugees and locals have been a long-standing issue in Kakuma, but an attack following the government announcement about closing Kenya’s refugee camps seems to have been motivated by the announcement. At least four refugees have sustained non-life-threatening injuries following attacks by members of the host community in Kakuma.

In Kakuma and Kalobeyei, which host over 200,000 refugees, women and children comprise 76 % of the total refugee population. Of this sum, 49% are women living in dire circumstances which most people would never even wish to visit.
