Police have fired teargas canisters inside the Holy Family Basilica where the Red Cross has pitched a tent to offer emergency treatment to the injured protesters.
Pleas by emergency workers for police not to shoot fell on deaf ears forcing the aid providers to take cover.
“Don’t shoot, don’t shoot, this is Red Cross, please don’t shoot,” the aid workers shouted.
A doctor said they had received between 30 to 40 people with varied degrees of in juries including fractured limbs.
About 10 were in serious condition, he said.
"We are still waiting for more in case of any other casualties, we are ready to assist them. However, we are receiving a lot of challenges of supplies and many other commodities that we need here," the medic said.
Medical practitioners from various facilities including KNH were offering the free medical aid to injured protesters.
"Another challenge is that we have been teargassed here," the dcotor added.
Anti-riot police were battling with protesters on the streets after they breached the security barricade and entered Parliament buildings.
A number of protesters were reportedly shot outside Parliament.
They set a section of the building on fire and ransacked the Senate.
Hell broke loose after MPs passed the contentious Finance Bill, 2024.
The Bill sailed through after 195 MPs voted ‘Yes’ against 106 who opposed its passage.
