TWO REFUGEES COMMITTED SUICIDE IN KAKUMA REFUGEE CAMP DUE TO HUNGER

-


One male refugee residing in Kakuma 4 has opted to commit suicide rather than die of hunger in Kakuma Refugee Camp. The Refugees food rationing has dropped drastically by a third after the introduction of bamba chakula in Kakuma Refugee Camp.
The other victim is a girl who is a minor and a size one. The young girl cannot fend for herself since the food given to the refugee was supposed to take them for (30) Thirty instead of the usual (15) Fifteen days which was very adequate for the refugee.
The food rationing in Kakuma Refugee Camp has dropped after WFP World Food Program opted to add a further (15) fifteen days for the consumption of the meagre food rationing they provide in the camp.  
The reason behind the added (15) Fifteen days is that WFP World Food program is also providing Bamba Chakula which is in term of Mobile money in which the refugees can buy whatever food item they might need to consume rather the one already planned by UNHCR and WFP World Food Program.
The official’s in charge of WFP World Food Program and UNHCR United Nation High Commissioner For Refugee reiterated that most of the donors have shifted funding to the War Zones like Syria and other countries who are also facing similar crisis as Syria. This led to few funding for food items and non-food items in Kakuma Refugee Camp.
One refugee from Kakuma 1, Mr Fuad was complaining bitterly on the food crisis in Kakuma Refugee Camp. Saying that his family sometimes had to sleep of hunger or he had to go and look for Manual Labor in the construction companies just to fend for his children.
If no drastic measures and precaution taken by the UNHCR United Nation High Commissioner For Refugees and WFP World Food Program then more similar cases will be heard in relation to suicide or even robbery of the food stores in the camp.

South Sudanese Transgender Is Asking For A South Sudanese Man To Marry Him.

South Sudanese man who turned into a woman has finally spoken about his need for man to settle with. The South-South Sudanese man who goes by the name Paul Gatnoor, has found men hard to come by in the western world. Paul Gatnoor who hails from the Nuer tribe in South Sudan has decided to turn into a female since she can’t withstand the pressure of being a man. He was born a man but deep inside him, he was having the genes of a woman. Transgender is the challenge that the gender in which one is given has birth is not the exact gender that one has. This means that people who are born male can identify themselves as female since they don’t have the genes of being a male, this is what Paul Gatnoor is undergoing. They are sometimes also in other words identified as the gender queer. This only means they can not be categorized as female or male. Sometimes one might be comfortable addressing himself as a female rather than identifying yourself as a male. Gatnoor Paul w
