Aid efforts to Somali refugees are being hampered by an outbreak of cholera and continuing insecurity in Kenya's Dadaab camp.

According to the UN Refugee Agency 60 cases of cholera have broken out in the camps with one death.

Security is also being stepped up after several incidents including the discovery of an explosive device along one of the roads to the camps.
