After Ramadan ended last Friday, concern has arisen over street families attracted by food distributions in Mombasa. Political leaders and county officials call for swift action to provide them housing. The situation risks escalating security challenges.
Muslims concluded their holy month of Ramadan last Friday, but a unique challenge has emerged in Mombasa. Throughout the period, politicians, businesses, and ordinary citizens engaged in charity, distributing food and drinks to the needy, mainly in the evenings near iftar time and throughout the day in mosques, streets, and other areas. This drew many street families to the city center, ensuring them reliable meals.
