Africa: A UN safety net for refugees

The UN refugee agency and the United Nations Foundation's "Nothing But Nets" campaign have started a partnership to help eliminate malaria deaths in refugee camps. The partnership – which aims to provide long-lasting, insecticide-treated bed nets to more than 630,000 refugees living in 27 temporary camps in Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda – was announced by former United States President Bill Clinton at the closing plenary session of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) annual meeting in New York last Friday.
