WFP aid to continue

    JOHANNESBURG

    The UN World Food Programme (WFP) said on Tuesday that it was extending its food relief operations in flood-stricken Mozambique until next year.

    WFP’s spokesman Inyene Udoyen, said the operations were being extended until March next year because an estimated 175,000 people would not have access to a good harvest this year.

    Following the floods earlier this year WFP provided food aid to an estimated 500,000 people mainly in the southern and central parts of Mozambique. WFP said that it was moving away from free food aid and replacing it with food-for-work programmes.
