Emergency appeal for US $2.3 million

    NAIROBI
    Church organisations working in the DRC have appealed for over US $2.3 million to provide "basic life sustaining" relief items to needy populations. A statement from the coordinating body Action by Churches Together (ACT), received by IRIN on Thursday, said that war, population displacement, the breakdown of infrastructure and the influx of refugees from neighbouring countries had resulted in many regions experiencing a dire need of emergency assistance, such as food, medicines, health services and potable water. The funds sought would support, among other things, efforts to improve food security conditions, run selected church-assisted health centres and rehabilitate severely-affected schools in Kisangani, Bunia and Isiro.
