Food aid to Freetown camps to phase down

    ABIDJAN
    Plans to phase out the provision of food aid to some displaced people living in camps and around the Freetown peninsula are underway, the UN Humanitarian Assistance Coordination Unit (HACU) said in its most recent situation report, 17-30 January. HACU said that only displaced people from safe areas or those wishing to return to their homes would not receive food. "Resettlement rations, food for work, food for training and related projects will be provided for those who wish to resettle," HACU said. "Those who live in areas that are still not safe will remain in camps and continue to receive support."
