News: Experts now push for counselling of chaos victims - NationMedia

Victims of Kenya's post election violence should be given counselling, according to Dr Gladys Mwiti, CEO of Oasis Africa. As people return to their homes, where they witnessed horrendous scenes of violence, they may need support to cope with after effects of trauma. "If all these people are not assisted to heal, the hatred witnessed in January could be rekindled. That is why providing food for the body and ignoring the soul for emotional healing is not wholly helpful," she told NationMedia.
