The number of people in need of relief food in the county has risen by 1,800 to 3,300, according to the Kenya Red Cross Society (KRCS).

The society's regional manager, Anwar Said, who spoke during distribution of food at Moinonin in Baringo North sub-county, attributed the increase to insecurity that has made many people flee their homes.
