The camps have been in existence for twenty years, and the refugees continue to face fear, insecurity, overcrowding, and limited access to basic services. The executive summary emphasizes the need for adequate aid and protection for Somali refugees in Kenya, while also considering their potential return to Somalia. It highlights the challenges faced by refugees, such as insufficient food rations, security risks, and the closure of registration facilities. The summary calls for prioritizing the provision of aid and protection to Somali refugees while ensuring their voluntary return is not forced due to a reduction in aid.
