Le foto dell’incendio nella periferia di Nairobi

A Mathare, una delle baraccopoli più vaste del Kenya

Residents of the Mathare slum in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi attempt on June 27, 2012 to put out a blaze that gutted atleast twenty shanty homes which is suspected to have originated from an illegal electrical connection at one of the homes. One of Kenya's biggest slums, Mathare has featured in the news in the recent past as residents continue to suffer the consequences of unplanned settlement where several people lost their lives after drowning due to flash floods some weeks ago and property of unknown value destroyed Wednesday arising from what is now the common practice of tapping electrical installations to acquire electricity in most shantees albeit illegally.

Oggi è scoppiato un incendio nella baraccopoli di Mathare: una ventina di case sono andate distrutte, ma non si hanno notizie di feriti. Mathare, nella periferia di Nairobi, è una delle baraccopoli più vaste del Kenya con una popolazione che è stata stimata intorno alle 500 mila persone.

L’incendio di oggi sembra essere stato causato dal cortocircuito in un allacciamento abusivo alla rete elettrica. Gli incidenti a Mathare sono abbastanza frequenti e le condizioni di vita dei residenti sempre più difficili soprattutto perché aumentano sempre di più, e senza alcuna pianificazione, gli insediamenti.
