The Kenyan government received a donation on Tuesday of 5,800 tents from China in a bid to improve the living conditions of Somali refugees in the country.

Kenyan Interior Principal Secretary Monica Juma expressed appreciation for China's support for Somali refugees in Kenya during a ceremony in the coastal city of Mombasa.

She also appealed for more support from other donors, as "the issue of refugees is and should be a shared responsibility among the community of nations".
