Skirmishes broke out in the central Kenyan town of Nakuru Friday, leaving more than 100 people wounded and several dead, reports said, in post-election violence that is ongoing despite high-level mediation efforts to solve the political standoff, reported dpa. The Red Cross said it sent a truck full of medical supplies to Nakuru, some 150 kilometres north-west of the capital Nairobi, to treat the 100 people injured by weapons at a hospital there. "This will ensure the hospital staff is able to cope with the number of wounded patients following the recent flare up of violence in a number of incidents in the Nakuru-Molo area," said Pascal Cuttat, head of delegation for the International Committee of the Red Cross. Police spokesman Eric Kiraithe confirmed there were clashes in Nakuru suburbs but could not give a death toll. The BBC reported at least five people were killed Friday. The renewed violence came a day after Kenyans watched President Mwai Kibaki and defeated presidential candidate Raila Odinga shake hands and meet for the first time since last month's disputed elections plunged the country into chaos.
