Emergency Response in Republic of Congo

  • In March of this year, a large munitions depot in Brazzaville, the capital of the Republic of Congo, exploded on a Sunday morning, killing 200 people and leaving at least 5,000 homeless. Within one day, MAG’s in-country experts were delivering Risk Education and three emergency hotlines were established to report items of UXO. Read more about MAG's emergency response in Congo here.
