Reuters reports UNICEF has found major public health problems in parts of northeast Kenya following flooding caused by El Nino rains earlier in the year. Up to half o f children under five are malnourished and malaria is causing mortality. Up to 1.5 Kenyans and another 125,000 Somali refugees are at risk, with only 20 % of the population having access to safe drinking water. The U.S. and Ireland have contributed $212,000 to stop one cholera outbreak. Normal rainfall will begin in April and further flooding may occur, cutting access to the affected areas.
