doctor, let me ask you, i was in kenya two years ago. but that time, there were expressing their frustration with the pressure applied to them, the number of refugees they had said. your flyer said they are getting over 1200 every day and have expanded their camp. is that correct? other than providing the additional land for expansion, what pressure is being put on the canyon's by this number of people to provide help and at what cost? >> that is the largest refugee camp in the world. it has been there since 1991. if you of refugees inside of kenya is very sensitive politically. they been very patient dealing with this refugee crisis for two decades. the order of magnitude, earlier this year, there were getting about 1200 new arrivals per week. it is now about 12 stoddert, 1300 per day. -- 1200, 1300 per day. they are asking them to open three major camps. there was an expansion, which we have long asked them to expand. when i was there three weeks ago, i was on the ground with the prime minister, who had a public press conference with t

"blackhawk down" immortalized what happened in somalia. the secretary of defense said he did not think additional firepower and capability would fly on capitol hill. democrats and republicans said we would never put our troops at risk without sufficient resourcing. it was a failed mission because there were inadequate resources. we have to do more to make sure the deployment of african union troops who have stepped up have the right kind of capability and mandate to make a difference. i met with major jumbo from king from kenya in darfur. he said he had the same interior mandate there as in sarajevo. it was not robust enough to protect innocent civilians. we need to help the african union and make sur

our world affairs correspondent tracks out the british aid is being used in a refugee camp in kenya. >> 13 talks -- 13 tons loaded onto a flight test and for what is the world's biggest refugee camp. 48 hours later, the supplies reached the camp after being trapped -- trucked across kenya. there is an urgency about unloading. already though, there are a growing number of these water points, helping reduce the risk of disease. >> they have to stay up for many hours to get water. >> and so, the refugees keep coming at the rate of 1500 a day. now it seems that what ever aid is getting into somalia at itself, is having little impact of the flow of people into kenya. the british government is among those donating rations year, including special products to combat malnutrition among the children. and the donkey cart that brought them to their place of refuge then takes this aid on the final leg of its journey. bbc news, kenya. >> well, just days after an earthquake hits virginia, inhabitants of that the east coast of the u.s. are bracing for hurricane irene. it has already battered the bah

why give birth to him then in kenya instead of just staying in hawaii? i don't know. don't either. but they had to know in advance that he was going to run for president 50 years later, because within days of giving birth to him in kenya, the 18-year-old ann dunham, or perhaps a co-conspirator, paid a newspaper in honolulu, hawaii, to run this false birth announcement saying that dunham's son was not born in kenya, which of course he was, but rather that he was born in honolulu. now, you don't have to be born in the united states to be a governor or a senator or any other thing, it's just president. so ann dunham, 18 years old, or her co-conspirators, knew in 1961 that this baby would specifically be president one day, which is why they had to pay for the fraudulent birth announcement in 1961. knowing he would be president is also presumably why they named him barack hussein obama. so as to arouse no suspicion whatsoever of his maybe foreign-born nature. so now we have a foreign-born president-to-be terror baby, presumably indoctrinated for his eventual covert ascenda

what you have now in northern kenya is essentially a state of war. intercommunal warfare that involves cattle raiding, rating traffic on the highways, cross-border raids by the military the kenyan police in their, back-and-forth. official numbers about 100 people at abc aired and that's probably about half the number because most of the deaths are registered. many of the roads are too dangerous to travel. it's an undeclared war, social break down. an example of how climate change can create instability and a more industrialized country would be teargas and -- two-year span. not necessarily important to the u.s. economy or u.s. politics. a very important place to be that they are. people might remember in the spring of 2010 they made news when the n. up in flames and their ways of price in the chain chain is vexing kyrgyz and one file and another government came and called for russian intervention. it also decided and just looks like a short animosities between yonkers back then going after each other and each other's community. but really underneath

and what you have now in somalia -- in northern kenya is, essentially, a state of war. intercommunal warfare that involves cattle raiding, raiding traffic on the highways, cross-border raids by the military, constant presence by the paramilitary kenyan police who are in there with helicopters fighting these herders back and forth. the official numbers are that over 100 people have already died year, and i think that's probably about half the number because most of these deaths aren't registered. it's a state of war there, an undeclared war, social breakdown. an example of how climate change can create instability in a more industrialized country would be ceerg stand. not a country we think a lot about in the u.s., not necessarily important to the u.s. economy or u.s. politics. very important place if you live there. and people might remember that in the spring of 2010, kyrgyzstan made news when the capital went up in flames, and there was this rioting between uzbeks. another government fell, another government came in and called for russian intervention, the russians wi

this is kenya. it's not somalia.ya, it shouldn't be that difficult to get the kind of help that these people so desperately need. >> reporter: i think that the problem is not so much here in kenya, wolf. i think they are starting to get resources here, and those resources are improving. like i said, some of the camps here, some of them have been here for 20 years, really since 1991, when they went through -- started the beginning of a famine again at the beginning of that time. i think the problem has been in part because of the conflict that has existed in somalia for a long time. there's been a ban on any kind of western aid coming into the country. and as a result, aid workers in the past have been killed. that ban has been lifted, as you may know, over the last several days. but there's still an atmosphere of mistrust. so people still have to cross the border to get here to kenya. then they get the resources they need. obviously, they need to expand the camp to take care of the people, and that's starting to happ

the camps in kenya are now overflowing. the biggest refugee camp in the world has four times more people it was bui to accommodate. we're building more camps, but this cannot be the answer. we have to deal the here and now. we will accept that. but we also have to help countries to plan for the longer-term, to really people whose absolute way of life is under threat. the droughts are now happening every two years rather than every ten. ways of sustaining the environment are receding rapidly. we've got rapid population growth. it's a very complex situation we're dealing with. >> valerie talks about the camps overflowing. to put the numbers in perspecte, more than 400,000 refugees now. that's the size of minneapolis or a cincinnati now living in those camps. while we were there, you could see the mothers and all of their belongings that they could carry on their heads and on their waists, and their children hanging from their waists, too, emerging from the desert and waiting line. i asked this one mother with her four childre
