Precarious security conditions in the Bundibugyo district of western Uganda have curtailed humanitarian activities, forcing the suspension of most activities for some 105,000 internally displaced people (IDPs) and relocation of staff members, an emergency report by WFP released late last week stated. Attacks continue to be reported along the main transport routes and on IDP camps, although the Ugandan army was now providing protection for the camps, it said. “WFP is ready to resume food deliveries and food distributions once clearance is received and improved protection measures are put in place for its food convoys,” the report added.
