"A huge number of people took shelter near the police stations and parish churches goes on the spokesman of the Kenyan bishops . I have just received a call from a parish church which had to accommodate and feed thousands of people. They say there is no food, there are no necessaries in the shops, there is no fuel, there are very long queues at the petrol stations, the telephone lines do not work properly, the roads are blocked. The situation is getting really tragic". In the declaration, the bishops will ask "to give food, water, drugs for the refugees and will make an appeal to the politicians, to the government and the opposition, to meet, speak and make their peace. At the same time, they will ask the leaders of the African Union to negotiate for the sake of the country". The latest figures from the hospitals speak of 316 people killed and 70 thousand refugees, including the massacre of about fifty Kikuyu women and children who were burnt alive in a church in Eldoret, 300 kilometres from Nairobi.
