The village of Ogossagou is located 144 kilometres from the town of Sévaré in the Mopti region of central Mali. Ogossagou has been the site of two massacres between local ethnic groups in the space of two years, resulting in numerous casualties. For the last two years peacekeepers from Senegal serving with the Quick Reaction Force (QRF) of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) has secured a temporary operational base (TOB) in the village. The village of Ogossagou is difficult to access by land due to the security situation, terrorist attacks and Improvised Explosive Device (IED), and to the isolation of the village. Recently calm has returned to Ogossagou with the signing of local agreements between the two communities.

Headline The Fight against Malnutrition: Guatemala

Caption Description Founded early in 1946 under the auspices of the Pan-American Sanitary Bureau which acts as the world Health Organization's (WHO) Regional Office for the Americas, the Institute of Nutrition of Central America and Panama (INCAP), with main offices in Guatemala City, is primarily engaged in studying human nutrition and finding effective solutions to the problems arising from malnutrition in the areas it serves. Each member country of INCAP is provided with a permanent field unit constantly carrying out surveys, distributing medicines, etc., and compiling data on the weight, height and bone growth of children. This information is carefully recorded and analysed at the Institute which is waging an all-out campaign against kwashiorkor, among other diseases. Kwashiorkor is a disease which produces grave organic disturbances as a result of protein deficiency. Health education and hospital treatment, where indicated, are restoring thousands annually. As a diet additive, milk donated by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) is instrumental in developing the health and often saving the lives of children.
