"Genocide in Kenya"

Aid agencies today warned of a humanitarian disaster in Kenya amid claims of "ethnic-cleansing".

Red Cross officials visiting the Moi University hospital, in Eldoret, reported seeing people who had suffered gunshot and arrow wounds. "The hospital is overwhelmed with the number of casualties," Gullet said.

Abbas Gullet, the secretary general of the Kenya Red Cross, described the situation as "national disaster,".

"One tribe is targeting another one in a fashion that can rightly be described as ethnic cleansing," an unnamed senior police official told the AFP news-agency.
