In Pictures: Eid in Dadaab - In Pictures - Al Jazeera English: "As Muslims across the world celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the holiday that marks the end of the month of Ramadan, with feasts and the exchange of gifts, the scene is somewhat different in Kenya's Dadaab refugee camp.
Set up 20 years ago to accommodate 90,000 people, the refugee complex situated on the Kenya-Somalia border now comprises three camps, spans 50km and 'houses' 440,000, mostly Somali, residents.
The original residents, who fled Somalia in 1991 as their country erupted into a bloody civil war, have been joined by hundreds of thousands fleeing the worst drought to hit the Horn of Africa in six decades. Many of the new arrivals are still suffering from malnutrition and malnourishment after enduring often long and arduous journeys from famine-stricken Somalia."
