Moins d'activité de prévention et une prise en charge de plus en plus difficile à assumer: les acteurs de la lutte contre le sida fondent leurs espoirs sur le retour du Fonds mondial
The initial findings a joint FAO/WFP team currently assessing crop and food supplies in the field suggest that some areas in Dodoma will face food shortages after the harvest in July because of rain shortages during crop ripening, a WFP report has stated. The agency intends to distribute 1,900 of grain supplied by the government to areas affected by drought, including Iringa and Arusha. Meanwhile, over 17,000 Congolese refugees have crossed into Kigoma since the bombings of Goma and Uvira last month; they were registered on arrival at Kibirizi before their transfer to Lugufu camp, WFP added.
