Local content creators Collins Ekutan and Mike Ekutan helped bring the incident to public attention after videos of the woman circulated online. Some residents have also tried to offer her food, shelter and other assistance.
However, helping her has reportedly been difficult because she does not speak English or Kiswahili. Witnesses said attempts to communicate with her using mobile translation apps have not been successful.
Some residents also said she becomes frightened when people approach her with offers of help. This has raised concerns about her safety and whether she may need medical or psychological support. However, her condition has not been confirmed.
The identity and nationality of the distressed Chinese woman Lodwar streets incident remain unclear. Residents are calling on security agencies, immigration officials and relevant authorities to investigate the situation.
Some community members have also urged authorities to contact the Chinese Embassy in Kenya if her nationality is confirmed, so she can receive the necessary assistance and protection.
