Relative calm boosts returnee numbers

    NAIROBI
    An estimated 1,000-2,000 returnees a day had arrived in Brazzaville from the Pool Region and the DRC as the security situation calmed down over the past few weeks, the latest WFP weekly emergency report stated. Recent screenings by MSF put the malnutrition rate at 23.8 percent among the returnees, it added. WFP said the monthly food requirement for its relief operation in the country was an estimated 2,650 mt, and that it needed 883 mt of mixed foods to meet the urgent needs of the 80,000 most vulnerable among 200,000 planned beneficiaries.
