Western relief agencies' boxes and sacks sheath a traditional Rendille shelter in a Kenyan town. In the 1970s the camel-herding Rendille tribe began feeling pressures from the United Nati##被过滤## and the Kenyan government to settle and enter a cash economy. In the wake of severe drought and famine, thousands of Rendille flocked to relief camps and became largely dependent upon mission agency handouts.
