NAIROBI, Kenya — A four-month-old baby girl and three-year-old girl are among four people who died April 30 while waiting to see a visiting American evangelist during a religious meeting.
The four had been allowed to leave a hospital in order to attend a two-day “Miracle Crusade” in Nairobi led by Benny Hinn, according to Kenyan police. They had hoped for a cure but died before Hinn could pray for them, according to Reuters new agency.
Ten others in the crowd suffered broken jaws and other serious injuries when they fell out of trees they had climbed in order to better see the evangelist.
As many as 1 million people reportedly attended the crusade to see Hinn, whose shows are broadcast nightly on Kenya’s religious channel.
