Some malnutrition among displaced people

    ABIDJAN

    Humanitarian sources say the rains so far have been satisfactory,
    particularly in the highlands. However, there are reportedly signs of malnutrition in displaced people's camps, especially among children who have been displaying the symptoms of reddish hair. Denmark, USAID and the Netherlands have extended funding to UNICEF for support to the IDPs, including supplementary feeding. WFP also reports that US $1 million has been released from its "Immediate Response Account" to acquire 3,000 mt of
    sorghum and 600 mt of pulses.
