    A combination of resourcing shortfalls and delays in food arrivals is continuing to hamper WFP's programme to assist 340,000 refugees and over one million drought-affected people, according to the organisation's weekly report.

    To date, only 70 percent of the 20,000 mt of food needed for its drought relief programme has been resourced. WFP is also using cash contributions to purchase some of the food required locally.
