Approximately 6.5 million dollars, goes on the UN Coordinator for Emergency Humanitarian Aids, will be allocated to "emergency accommodation for the refugees" and to "provide seeds and tools to the farmers", so as "to ensure they will have their own means of subsistence, a key factor in people’ rehabilitation process". In addition, the OCHA (UN Office for the coordination of Humanitarian Affairs) points to "the need to protect civilians from the crisis, especially children"; 3.6 million dollars will be invested in this, explains Holmes. And, in the meantime, today Kenya is going through its second day of protests against president Kibaki. Three people died in yesterday’s fights with the police at Kisumu, the stronghold of opposition, while the centre of Nairobi is still policed. According to Human Rights Watch, 620 people have died so far from post-electoral violence, 47 of them being protesters who were killed by the police. "I hope concludes Holmes the situation will not come to a head, that violence may be curbed and that the type of ethnical violence I have seen in other African countries will not spiral out of control".
