Somalia's key border town of Bulohawo has been the scene of bloodshed in the last 24 hours.

Heavy fighting between pro-government troops and the Islamist group al Shabab has left a trail of death.

The effects of the clashes are being felt in neighbouring Kenya where hundreds of Somalis who live in Bulahawo have been arriving in search of a safe haven.

The BBC's reporter in North Eastern Kenya is Bashkas Jugsodaay.
