Kenya: Hospitals treating hundreds in post-poll violence
Hospitals in areas affected by the post-election violence that rocked Kenya in the last week of December and early January have been treating hundreds of patients for injuries inflicted with machetes, arrows and spears, as well as gunshot wounds and burns.
Of the 275 people with violence-related injuries treated at Kenyatta National Hospital, the main government-run referral health facility in Nairobi, 121 had multiple cuts, while the rest suffered gunshot wounds or had been attacked with blunt objects that caused fractures. Others had been shot with arrows, according to Peter Kamau of the hospital's disaster management section.
