Limited resources amid growing food needs

    NAIROBI

    WFP’s food supply for Burundi is “stretched to the limit,” a WFP spokesperson in Nairobi confirmed to IRIN on Thursday. “The needs seems to be growing everyday and we have at this stage limited amount of resources for response,” she said. WFP had been assisting an average of 400,000 people every month but was now also trying to provide food for the thousands more who have recently been regrouped, “and also to provide one million food packages to people receiving seeds,” she added.
