It's no longer just one parish's problem, because displaced people in both the north and south of Brazzaville have to be cared for now. Health care arrangements for the displaced registered with St. Kizito's parish, and for those registered with the Catholic Disaster Aid Committee, are covered by a joint project run by Caritas Congo and the French Embassy. Sister Brigitte Gengo is a member of the sub-commission which looks after humanitarian aid. She also sees to the distribution of medicine. Kizito's Disaster Commission has to face up to a multiplicity of medical problems, ranging from childbirth to serious medical problems.
Many children suffer from diarrhoea, dermatosis and malaria.
In spite of the ceasefire in recent days, the displaced have not been able to go back home.
