"Fewer than expected" people noted in various locations

    NAIROBI
    A joint needs assessment team comprising WFP staff from the northern and southern sectors carried out a mission in five locations along the lower Sobat river corridor where they noted "fewer than expected" people in some locations, indicating recent population movement. An Operation Lifeline Sudan (OLS) southern sector report said the locations visited included Baliet, Adong, Abwong, Guel Achel and Dini in the Unity, Upper Nile and Jonglei areas. The team reported an erratic rainfall pattern in the areas assessed but said the first harvest of green maize was being consumed while beneficiaries awaited the main harvest of sorghum.
