    WFP plans to deliver 400 mt of food per month to Goma as soon as security conditions permit. The supplies are to cover the immediate needs of malnourished and displaced persons in the town, WFP’s latest emergency report says. Initially, deliveries are to be trucked in from Uganda. Meanwhile, an inter-agency mission visited Luozi in Bas-Congo at the end of last month to assess the condition of Congolese refugees who had fled fighting in Brazzaville. The mission identified 16,500 persons in need of emergency humanitarian assistance.
