Red Cross seeks funding for refugees

    ABIDJAN

    The International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies has appealed for financial and material help for some 140,000 refugees in Guinea over the next three months.

    The Federation said on Tuesday that it needed at least US $209,000.

    Immediate support is required to begin the transfer of some 80,000 refugees in camps near the border with Liberia and Sierra Leone, and to help others living in towns. Other needs include arranging an office in Kissidougou for the Federation and the Guinean Red Cross.
