Humanitarian access rapidly expanding

    NAIROBI

    Of the estimated 400,000 returnees, over 250,000 had arrived in the capital Brazzaville, the report said. The remaining IDPs were mainly from rural areas. It said some zones were still out of reach for security reasons, "with the condition of their displaced populations still dire". The UN and its partners were now rapidly expanding humanitarian access, with about one half of the affected interior now reachable, it stated. The UN and NGOs were also moving to provide rehabilitation assistance in
    communities of return, many of which had been "completely gutted" and left with few or no social services or economic activities.
