“Critical” situation in Pweto

    ABIDJAN

    An NGO mission to the Dubi and Pweto areas of Katanga province found that some 20,000 war-affected displaced people were in a critical situation, WFP said in its weekly emergency report. The MSF-Belgium mission warned that “malnutrition may jeopardise lives of many children”, according to the WFP report. WFP expected to reach the malnourished in Pweto when resources were made available for its emergency operations in the DRC, the report said, adding that an Italian donation of rice will be used to fill the gap.
