Doctors Without Borders Urges Kenyan Officials to Consult Refugees Before Closing Camps

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is urging the Kenyan government to consult with people living in refugee camps before closing the camps permanently.  

In a news release, the medical humanitarian organization said on Wednesday that a human-centered approach would ensure that authorities understand the plight of refugees and adequately map out a more desirable future.   "While MSF supports the need for sustainable alternatives to refugee camps, our teams are extremely concerned that the voices of refugees living in the camps are not being heard," the news release said.   Earlier this year, Kenyan authorities announced they were ready to shut down the Dadaab and Kakuma camps.
