Road to Dadaab

I shot a quick video of the lengthy travel necessary to get to Dadaab Refugee Camp in Kenya along Somali border. Nearly 2,000 Somalis are flooding this camp every day. It was originally built to house 90,000 and how holds upwards of 430,000 with more camped outside. Most refugees walk dozens of miles, taking them weeks, with their entire families just to get here. As you can see, it's a tough dry country and this walk must be brutal and harsh.
