Rate of returnees rising fast

    NAIROBI

    The latest OCHA report from ROC says the rate of return of displaced people to the cities is rising fast. Of an estimated 810,000 people displaced last year, 370,000 were estimated to have returned by the beginning of January. By February the number of returnees is expected to top 400,000, and if the pace continues, some 600,000 could have returned by April or May.
