Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This 1968 photograph showed a major road intersection at which point refugees of the Nigerian-Biafran civil war would congregate in order to receive food distributions during CDC’s relief efforts during the late 1960s. In 1967, the CDC was asked to assist the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in its disease control and death prevention efforts at numerous relief camps outside of the war zone. The CDC carried out rapid health and nutritional assessments, coordinated the overall health and nutritional response, and implemented surveillance systems to track rates of illness and death. A triage approach was taken when allotting food supplies to camp refugees, which was based on the initial determination of each refugee’s nutritional status. The most serious malnutrition cases were hospitalized in each camp to be rehabilitated.
