Nairobi, KENYA, 10.10.08 – The Catholic Church in Kenya is showing its great concern for the situation of internal refugees and the sharp rise in the price of food products, which is threatening the lives of millions of people.

In a declaration entitled 'The Current Cry of the Nation', the Bishops’ Justice and Peace Commission of Kenya observes that 'many camps are still staggering with people who are helplessly in need of assistance... On food, we do not need to bargain, it is a basic right for every human being. Let it be the government’s agenda that every Kenyan has food to eat.'
