Aid for former DRC internees

    NAIROBI

    UNHCR staff were trying to determine whether people of Tutsi origin evacuated from the DRC to Kigali on Sunday and Monday were Rwandan returnees or of Congolese nationality, the latest UNHCR Great Lakes update said. ICRC this week said it had transported some 356 civilian internees, mainly Congolese Tutsis, from Kinshasa and Lubumbashi to Kigali. UNHCR has
    provided assistance to the evacuees upon their arrival in Kigali, while WFP has given them food rations, the UNHCR update said. A determination of their status was needed to plan further assistance, it added.
