Nairobi - Some 250,000 Somalis living in one of the world's largest refugee camps are on the verge of a humanitarian emergency that can only be averted by urgent action, international charity Oxfam warned Friday.
The Dadaab refugee complex in north-eastern Kenya has become dangerously over-crowded as Somalis continue to flee a bloody insurgency that has claimed the lives of over 15,000 civilians since early 2007.
Oxfam warned that a public health crisis is brewing, with basic services stretched to breaking point by the mass of refugees.
