The United nations refugee agency, UNHCR, has once again expanded Kenya’s Kakuma refugee camp. For the third year in a row, Kakuma has been receiving record numbers of refugees from South Sudan fleeing violence in the country that threatens to spill into all out civil war. By late August 2014, there were more than 42,000 new arrivals. Failing a lasting ceasefire and peace and reconciliation in South Sudan, the steady influx into Kenya has continued into 2015.
