Kenya Terror Attack Survivor Recalls Seeing Bits Of Human Flesh On The Floor

Kenyan Shami Allu, 52, who was injured in the attack by al-Shabab Islamic militants, recounts her horrifying ordeal of being trapped inside the Westgate mall.
Kenyan Shami Allu, 52, who was trapped inside the Westgate mall when the shooting started, recalled how she and others tried to jump through an opening to safety.
Speaking from her hospital bed, she said that the group huddled together as they helped one another to safety when suddenly a grenade was thrown in their direction, killing several and severely injuring a young child who later died in Ms Allu's arms.
Ms Allu lay seriously wounded from shrapnel for several hours in a garage, endeavouring to take cover from the the blasts of gunfire.
She said that she saw "blobs of red" all around her before realising that they were "bits of human flesh".
Eventually rescued by members of the Kenyan Red Cross, Ms Allu is continuing her recovery at the M.P. Shah hospital in the Westlands neighbourhood of Nairobi.
