Kenyan flood victims to get Christmas food air-drop

The United Nations World Food Programme has begun a month-long series of food airdrops to hundreds of thousands of flood victims stranded in refugee camps and remote areas of Kenya's northeastern province.

Torrential rains have hit Kenya and much of East Africa over the past two months, killing some 2,000 people and leaving tens of thousands more homeless across the region.
