Food distribution update

    ABIDJAN

    WFP and its NGO partners on Sunday finished distributing some 200 mt of food aid to 25,000 newly displaced people in Kafu Bullom and Loko Masama in the Lungi area north of Freetown. The IDPs also received non-food items from the International Committee of the Red Cross, OCHA reported.

    Over the weekend Catholic Relief Services (CRS) moved 24 mt of food to the northern town of Kabala and it expects to send an additional 48 mt shortly. A CRS official told OCHA that some 200 mt to 300 mt of food was needed to fully address the plight of civilians in the Kabala area.
