The Kenya Red Cross has put the number of people displaced into Kenya by clashes near the Ethiopia border at more than 50,000, according to reporting by Al Jazeera and Kenya News Agency. The estimate includes people staying with host families as well as those in temporary sites. A Kenyan government-led assessment had counted 35,950 people as of Oct. 24, and the newer Red Cross figure has not been independently verified as a final total. The UN has allocated emergency funds for assistance.
