The wounded arrive in Nairobi.
On Sunday at least 17 people were killed when attackers stormed two churches in Northern Kenya armed with guns and grenades.
The attacks took place in a town used as a base for operations against al Qaeda-linked insurgents in Somalia.
The Red Cross says at least 60 people were wounded.

"Between 9:30 and 10 there was an attack on two churches: Africa Inland Church and the Catholic church in Garissa. We know that at the Africa Inland church there were two police officers that were shot dead and that, once they were killed, their weapons were taken and their weapons were used to indiscriminately shoot at innocent church goers."
Kenya has suffered a series of blasts since sending troops into Somalia last October to crush Somalia's al Shabaab militants.
No one is claiming responsibility for the attack.
