Influx of displaced to Pointe-Noire

    NAIROBI
    Point-Noire, which was spared the destruction of the last round of urban warfare is now suffering the consequences of this round. Power and water are a problem, while the influx of IDP’s is compounding an already bad situation. Cholera has been identified in the city, and there is mounting concern as to whether or not Point-Noire can continue to act as a rear base for the stockpiling of humanitarian supplies, aid workers warn.
