refugee. Since leaving home in 2003, Ojulu has married and has a child and
acquired a driver's licence but he remains at a way station in Malakal,
capital of South Sudan's Upper Nile state, with about 80 other Anuak

[image: lead photo]DADAAB, 13 July 2011 (IRIN) - About 1,300 Somalis are
arriving at the Dadaab refugee camps in northeast Kenya every day. The help
they are seeking - refuge from a severe drought and the effects of years of
conflict - is being handed out as fast as possible. But in a camp complex
that has already been stretched well beyond its limits, the new arrivals
need more assistance than can be provided. The nutritional state of older
children, as well as under fives, is of concern, but the local Kenyan
population is faring little better.
