Food for vulnerable groups needed in Segbwema

A WFP mission to the eastern district of Kailahun has found that vulnerable-group feeding rations need to be provided to elderly people and children in Segbwema, some 260 km east of Freetown. In contrast, the mission found that the nutritional situation in Daru, also in the east, was satisfactory compared to earlier findings in September. It said ongoing harvests and access to areas held previously by the RUF contributed to the improvement.
