Displaced in south Kordofan in urgent need of food aid

    NAIROBI
    In the course of last week, over 2,000 new arrivals were registered by a joint WFP, Save the Children and the government's Humanitarian Assistance Committee mission in Abu Gebaiha and Greater Rashad provinces. The major causes of the influx were attributed to insecurity and food shortages in Haiban province in the Nuba mountains. The mission observed that the nutritional condition of the new arrivals was "poor". They had no coping mechanisms and were in urgent need of food aid, WFP reported. The food agency will provide the new arrivals with full food rations from August through October, prior to the next harvest when their food security situation will be re-assessed.
