Documentary: Elderly Care Exposed - BBC Africa Eye

NOTE from Sudan Watch Editor: There are many wicked people in the world who should never be hired as carers to take care of the daily needs and social care of children and/or adults who are vulnerable, infirm, disabled. 

I once heard a Darfuri woman in a refugee camp saying she has eight children so at least one might survive to take care of her in her old age. 

Here is a copy of a tweet by BBC News Africa (@BBCAfrica) Aug 7, 2023 with a link to a full version of the video of their undercover investigation into some African care homes in Nairobi, Kenya. It says: 

Across Africa, the elderly have traditionally been cared for by their families. Now, with life expectancy increasing, many Africans are turning to care homes for help...but are the elderly getting the care they need? #BBCAfricaEye goes undercover to investigate. ⬇️
