Food needs among regrouped people

    NAIROBI
    Assessment teams have established that food assistance was required at five sites regrouping 14,000 displaced people in Bujumbura Rural, WFP said in its latest weekly emergency report. In addition, some 5,800 people recently displaced from the province into three sites in Bujumbura town required food aid, it said. Due to continuous population movements, most sites will need to be revisited to reassess the changing needs, the report added. Meanwhile, distribution of food for non-essential food-for-work projects have been withheld until mid-October so that food can be used for the regrouped population from Bujumbura Rural, it said.
