As Kenyans continue to deal with the aftermath of the bloody Dusit Terror Attack, we understand that some families are still unable to trace their loved ones who were in the building.
According to the Kenya Red cross society, at least 50 people cannot be accounted for almost 24 hours later after the attack started.
KRCS Secretary General Dr. Abbas Gullet on Wednesday said a total of 94 cases of missing persons were reported but 44 been closed positively as at 1500hrs.
“psychological support is also underway due to the trauma experienced by those affected both directly and indirectly. This is a service that is also being offered via telephone (on call) for those unable to access the counsellors stationed at the Chiromo campus and Chiromo mortuary,”
he said.
