This Emergency Appeal seeks CHF 26,154,197 in cash, kind, or services to support the Kenya Red Cross Society (KRCS) to assist between 76,000-110,000 beneficiaries (the current population in the camps is 76,000 people, however this is likely to reach 110,000 beneficiaries in the coming 12 months). The appeal will be completed by 30 November 2012 and a final report will be made available by 28 February 2013.

Partner national societies have provided emergency response unit (ERU) support through the provision of human resources, training and equipment totalling CHF 700,000. This includes IT and Telecom (CHF 50,000),
Health care (CHF 250,000), Base Camp (CHF 325,000) and Logistics (CHF 75,000). Including ERU support, the total value under the appeal amounts to CHF 26,854,197.

CHF 500,000 has been allocated from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support this operation. Un-earmarked funds to replenish DREF are encouraged.

In addition to the funds sought for this appeal, KRCS has been working with United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to secure CHF 11,014,187 bilaterally.
