European food aid

    ABIDJAN

    The European Commission (EC) approved on Tuesday a US $812,000-grant in food aid for 155,000 Chadian drought victims in the districts of Tandjile, Chari and Logone Occidental.

    Food reserves are “almost non-existent”, the EC reported, adding that the drought had driven people to the capital, N’djamena.

    World Vision, a partner of the European Union’s humanitarian aid office, ECHO, will distribute the food to vulnerable groups in the districts over the next six months. World Vision will care for malnourished children under five years, improve existing feeding centres and build new ones.
