LONDON (AlertNet) - The following is a list of NGOs responding to renewed violence in Ivory Coast, where government forces broke an 18-month ceasefire and bombed rebel strongholds in early November, prompting the U.N. to slap an arms embargo on the country.

Some 10,000 Ivorians have spilled across the border to Liberia. The U.N. has warned that if the situation gets worse, more than 1.5 million people would leave their homes.

While every effort has been made to provide as comprehensive a list as possible based on the latest information, it may not be complete.

AlertNet member NGOs involved in relief work in the region that are not included are urged to write to us at alertnet@reuters.com and publish information directly on the NGO latest.
