Several people have been critically injured after protests involving refugees turned violent at the Kakuma Refugee Camp on Monday, March 3.

Demonstrations, which spilled into their second week, took an unfortunate turn as police attempted to disperse irate refugees who were determined to make their way towards the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) offices in Kakuma Refugee Camp.

For the past several days, refugees have staged peaceful protests, demanding the reinstatement of essential supplies, which were cut due to funding shortages.

However, inaction left a section of the refugees impatient, prompting them to march to the UNHCR offices.
