Kenya petrol tanker explosion kills 100

hello,
as i write to u now ....we are hearing helicopters hovering around us .... i was here in nakuru visiting a friend who is going abroad today and .....we meet this incident that we heard a little bit last night and it is so hot on the news now..
over 111 are dead and i have had a chance to visit Nakuru referral hospital here...where i saw so many injured....
am going to be heading home in a moment but wanted to request for your prayers....as this is a disaster that has affected the whole country and mostly the people group that i come from....i met some of the people that come from kericho my hometown and i had to comfort them in the hospital.
Most of the bodies are burned beyond recognition and i don't know what the culture will say here as we don't cremate people ... (though this is a practice found worldwide)
have prayerful day
Jonah
