Zaire: More work for the tracing agency

15 May 1997
ICRC News 97/15

The ICRC delegation in Kinshasa has seen a steep rise in the number of people anxious to restore contact with their families elsewhere in the country. In the past three and a half weeks, some 1,100 people have visited the office to write Red Cross messages - a tenfold increase compared with just a few weeks ago. Philippe Beauverd, head of the tracing agency in Kinshasa, said that people separated from their families because of the conflict were learning about the service by word of mouth. Incoming messages are being distributed in the capital’s 24 districts by Zairian Red Cross personnel.

Meanwhile, the Zairian Red Cross has organized the distribution of food parcels to some 17,000 displaced Zairians living in Kinshasa. The food (basic rations for one month, including flour, oil, salt, sugar and beans) was provided by various organizations in the capital, and the operation financed by the ICRC.
