Malnutrition among Brazzaville residents

    NAIROBI

    Brazzaville residents have not been spared from the severe malnutrition affecting the country’s displaced persons, the UN report said. A recent NGO survey found that 20 percent of beneficiaries in its two Brazzaville nutrition centres had never been displaced. Meanwhile, the Evangelical Church of Congo, with WFP support, has recently opened nutrition centres beyond the Djoue river some 17 km from Brazzaville, as well as in Dolisie, Nkayi and Pointe-Noire, to help malnourished people in those areas.
