France to deliver 40 mt of relief

    ABIDJAN

    France will deliver 40 mt of relief aid at the end of this week to an estimated 400,000 people in southern Guinea displaced by recent cross-border attacks by armed rebels, the state news agency said on Wednesday.
    “Given the recent surge in incursions...resulting in deterioration in the situation of refugees and populations, we decided to grant additional humanitarian aid,” AFP quoted the French Foreign Ministry spokesman, Bernard Valero, as saying.
    The agency said the aid would be delivered through the International Committee of the Red Cross and other humanitarian organizations operating in the area.
