Stars and Stripes reports:
U.S. troops delivering aid to Kenyan flood victims A team of American servicemembers assigned to Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa has begun delivering relief supplies to areas of Kenya hit by severe flooding, the military said Monday. In all, the team of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen hopes to deliver about 150 metric tons of supplies through an airlift. Many of the roads around the flood-stricken area have proved impassable. The U.S. military teams began the aid mission after a request from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees; many of those affected by the floods were living in refugee camps in areas of Kenya. Some 150,000 people have been affected by the flood.
Kofi Annan didn’t get around to any of this in his speech today trashing the U.S.
