Kenya Red Cross has opened health service points in all six Moyale displacement camps, supporting families fleeing conflict-related insecurity across the border.

More than 36,000 displaced people in Moyale camps and host communities are receiving emergency assistance, including food, shelter and healthcare.

Red Cross volunteers are screening children and mothers for malnutrition, providing nutritional support and helping separated families reconnect.

The Kenya Red Cross Society has established operational health service points in all six displacement camps in Moyale, expanding humanitarian assistance as more than 36,000 people displaced by conflict-related insecurity across the border seek shelter in camps and host communities.

The health service points form part of a wider response providing food, temporary shelter, first aid and essential household supplies to affected families.

According to the society, volunteers are screening children and mothers for malnutrition and distributing Super Cereal to those most vulnerable. The teams are also providing hygiene supplies alongside other essential assistance.

The response comes as families continue arriving in Moyale following insecurity across the border, increasing the need for shelter, healthcare and food.

Kenya Red Cross teams are distributing tents, tarpaulins and household items, including blankets, sleeping mats, jerrycans and kitchen sets, to help families meet their immediate needs.

Food supplies are also reaching the camps, where volunteers are helping prepare and serve hot meals every day. This support complements the health services and household assistance already being provided.

Beyond meeting immediate material needs, the society is helping relatives separated during displacement reconnect through its Restoring Family Links programme.

Kenya Red Cross said it continues to assess needs and coordinate its response with the County Government of Marsabit and humanitarian partners to reach those most in need.

With more than 36,000 people displaced across the six camps and surrounding host communities, the ongoing response is focused on expanding access to essential services while identifying families requiring additional support.
