Ikea’s charity aid for Africa refugees
The UN High Commission for Refugees said the money would expand emergency relief for the thousands of people at the world’s largest refugee complex in Dadaab, Kenya.
The complex was originally designed for 90,000 people but is now home to 440,000 refugees, 150,000 of whom are said to have arrived in the last few months from Somalia. Many of the new arrivals are suffering from malnutrition.
