UN alarmed over Congo prison hunger deaths

By John Hirst

ADVERTISEMENTS

UN alarmed over Congo prison hunger deaths

The United Nations says it is alarmed by the number of deaths in a prison in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

At least 26 inmates have died from acute malnutrition at the main prison in the city of Mbuji Mayi in Kasai Oriental province since February.

Four inmates died of hunger last week alone.

The UN says it is particularly concerned because no measures are being taken to improve living conditions.

It says many of the inmates have not yet been convicted of any crime.

The UN is providing water to the prison on a weekly basis.
