Stampede in Kenya as slum residents surge for food aid

Residents of Nairobi's Kibera slum, spotting a food distribution, tried to force their way through a gate outside a district office for their chance at supplies to keep their families fed for another day.

The crowd had heard that popular opposition leader Raila Odinga had donated the food, said witness Richard Agutu Kongo, a 43-year-old who operates a motorcycle taxi. But in fact the distribution was from another well-wisher who had given selected families cards to turn in and receive aid, he said.Kongo's family, including six children, was given a card. They received two packets of maize meal, cooking oil and cereals.

A foreign ministry statement noted "unfair responses against foreigners, particularly of African origin," especially from landlords. Some of the thousands of Africans who stay in Guangzhou as traders have reported being evicted. Zweli Mkhize warned that Africa's most industrialized nation must keep up the hard work. He encouraged the widespread use of face masks but said surgical ones should be left to health workers.
