UNHCR rehabilitating health services

    NAIROBI

    UNHCR said last week that it was rehabilitating health services in the northern Uige and Zaire provinces where an estimated 222,000 IDPs and returnees are living in often squalid conditions.

    Meanwhile, in Viana in Luanda province, UNHCR said that a camp had been established to receive IDPs who had been living in transit centres. “Three hundred families are already living at the site and an additional 800 will be transformed soon by UNHCR and the government,” UNHCR said. The refugee agency added that UNHCR aimed to help an estimated 300,000 IDPs in three northern provinces of Angola.
