Mrs. Egger, delegate of the ICRC in Léopoldville, went to Kikwit in February, accompanied by the deputy head of civil operations of UNO, Mr. Gilpin, and by various other officials and by representatives of the Red Cross of the Congo, with a view to co-ordinating the United Nations' relief action in the troubled province of Kwilu. Mrs. Egger had talks with the local military and civilian authorities, and her mission was entirely successful.
