    ABIDJAN
    The World Food Programme (WFP), in collaboration with its French partner, Action contre la faim, started its latest round of food distribution to internally displaced people in Liberia’s Grand Cape Mount and Gbarpolu counties on 22 June. In total 5,535 IDPs were expected to receive food rations, WFP said in its latest emergency report. In Bong County where the distribution started on 25 June, 8,875 IDPs had received food aid by the end of the month. Bong County continued to receive people displaced by fighting in the northern county of Lofa, including 200 new arrivals recorded between 25-29 June, the agency said. As of 29 June, 19,610 Sierra Leoneans were officially registered in various shelters in the capital Monrovia, WFP said.
