    JOHANNESBURG

    The UN's World Food Programme (WFP) said this week that it would provide US $2.6 million in food aid to an estimated 30,000 Angolan refugees in Zambia.

    "The food will feed 30,000 new arrivals in the Western and Northwestern Provinces of Zambia as well as 1,000 malnourished under-five children to improve their health and nutritional status," WFP said in a statement.

    WFP said that it would distribute 4,909 mt of maize, vegetable oil, beans, salt and a high-energy protein blend.
