Long Food Lines as the Crisis Deepens



The clergy network Rick’s been working with helped organize food distribution with the United Nations and Red Cross. All these people came by invitation only through local churches in the Kibera slums. 2,000 people waited under a hot tropical sun for up to 9 hours to get food. Water had to be carried around the lines because no one wanted to loose their place in line. We moved among them assuring them to lesson the threat of panic. It was a loooong day for all involved.
