KINSHASA, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- The Republic of Congo's Red Cross office has mobilized assistance of 200,000 U. S. dollars for refugees fleeing the tribal clash in the neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), local media reported on Friday.

Thousands of people have been displaced by the Oct. 30 conflict over fishing rights in Dongo in the DRC's northwestern province of Equateur. A large number of refugees are taking shelter in the Republic of Congo.

Composed of blankets, mats, basins, saucepans and jerrycans, the assistance is destined for 2,000 people who are the most vulnerable among the 37,000 refugees officially registered in the Republic of Congo, a local radio station said, citing sources close to the Red Cross office.

Two weeks ago, the United Nations and the Republic of Congo distributed 15 tons of relief including foodstuffs, medical equipment, clothing, blankets, basins and mosquito nets. Last week, the DRC government also brought aid to the refugees.

On Tuesday, Lambert Mende, the minister of communication and media of the DRC, invited all refugees to return to Dongo, pledging safety and security guaranteed by the government.
