WFP assistance to war victims

    ABIDJAN

    WFP said it had distributed 9,357 mt of food to 388,737 war victims in Debub, Gash Barka and Mekete camp in Northern Red Sea Region and 50,780 drought victims in Anseba and the northern Red Sea region in August.

    In its latest monthly emergency report, it said a crop performance assessment and post distribution monitoring project had been conducted in Afabet, Kamchewa, Felket and Northern Red Sea. It found that late rainfall had delayed cultivation and planting and that the majority of farmers had no seeds. It also found that 10 percent of arable land had not been cultivated.
