ANGOLA: More aid needed to make peace process work

A senior UN official on Tuesday urged donors to give generously to a US $142 million "bridging" appeal for Angola over the next six months. Commenting after his recent visit to Angola, Ross Mountain, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Assistant Emergency Relief Coordinator, said: "Of particular concern were the 800,000 people only recently within reach of humanitarian aid, following the 4 April signing of a ceasefire between government forces and UNITA rebels."
