NGOs assess food security needs

    ABIDJAN
    Two Belgian NGOs are conducting a three-month mission in Guinea- Bissau with local partners to evaluate medium and long-term needs, particularly with regard to food security, OCHA said in its humanitarian situation report for 16-31 October. The two Belgian NGOs are Oxfam-Solidarite and Solidarite Socialiste and their mission will end in December 1999. Meanwhile, WFP distributed food to 1,672 vulnerable people in the Bafata region in October, OCHA said. Food was distributed through CARITAS to malnourished children and a centre for maternal health in Bafata, Bambadinca and Gabu.
