WFP receives additional pledge for maize

    NAIROBI

    WFP’s emergency operation received an additional pledge of 10,000 mt of maize from the US to assist populations displaced by the border conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea, the organisation said. It said although other commodities such as pulses, blended food, oil, salt and sugar had been fully or almost fully resourced, the total cereal commitment to this project amounted to some 20,510 mt or 56 percent of the required 36,720 mt.
