US gives US $2 million

    ABIDJAN

    The United States government has contributed US $2 million to UNHCR in support of their programmes in northern Angola, the US State Department said.

    Philip T Reeker, deputy spokesman said the money would be used to fund emergency relief and humanitarian needs for IDPs. “We believe that the protection and care of the internally displaced and the pursuit of permanent solutions are shared international responsibilities. We call on other donors to be generous in supporting the programmes of the UNHCR and other UN agencies and NGOs working in Angola,” Reeker said.

    Last week UNHCR appealed for US $8 million to help fund its operations in Angola.
