The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), operating under Operation Maliza Uhalifu (OMU), recently provided humanitarian assistance to residents of the Lorian settlement in Samburu County.
The troops distributed various food supplies and conducted a medical camp to support the community, which has been affected by prolonged drought and insecurity.
The Lorian settlement was fortified with a concrete fence and watchtowers to encourage families, previously displaced by banditry, to return and stay. The food donations were intended to help residents cope with the ongoing famine, while the medical camp offered treatment for various ailments, along with preventive and curative medications.
During the event, Major Asyago Sadaka, the Officer Commanding Baragoi Forward Operations Base, emphasized KDF’s commitment to humanitarian assistance, urging the local community to cooperate with security forces to achieve peace.
“Security is a shared responsibility. Each one of us has a part to play,” he stated.
