Violence erupts over the distribution of food in Kenya.

A planned distribution of food turned into a bloody melee on Friday in a poor area of Nairobi, Kenya, where many people’s incomes have evaporated in the pandemic.

A crowd of people tried to force through the gate at the distribution site in Kibera, a crowded slum where many people live without basic amenities like running water. They were driven back by security forces.

Photos and video footage showed residents lined up back to back as they waited for the food aid outside a district office. According to news reports, thousands were in the crowd, and as they tried to push their way in, the police fired tear gas and injured several people.

Images on social media showed people with bruises and blood trickling down their faces, and some lying on the ground, apparently hurt. Men trying to hold back the crowd hit them with sticks and shouted “go back” in Swahili.

Health officials have in recent days identified Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, as one of the key hot spots for coronavirus. Many residents of the Kibera area work in the informal economy, eking out a living day to day with no savings. Many have been bereft of work as Kenya takes measures to contain the virus.

As of Friday afternoon, Kenya had 189 confirmed coronavirus cases and seven deaths, the health ministry reported, though epidemiologists fear the outbreak is much larger.

Schools have closed, all international flights have been canceled and unnecessary travel in and out of Nairobi has been banned.
