UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The United Nations has allocated $2.35 million from an emergency fund to provide humanitarian aid to Guinea, which is in the midst of a tense nationwide strike, a U.N. spokesperson said Friday.
The money from the U.N. Central Emergency Response Fund has been made available for medical supplies, essential communication systems and humanitarian air service to provide aid to remote parts of the country, said U.N. spokeswoman Michele Montas.
"The humanitarian situation has increasingly become a source of concern since a nationwide strike was launched last month," she said.
