WFP resumes operations in Voinjama

    ABIDJAN
    The World Food Programme (WFP) says it has resumed limited operations in northern Liberian town of Voinjama. In its latest Emergency Report, WFP says that as of 10 June, 400 mt of food had been sent to Upper Lofa region, which includes Voinjama, for refugees and other activities. In the last week of May, WFP delivered food rations to some 5,630 Sierra Leonean refugees in Sinje Camp. Food deliveries had been halted after gunmen kidnapped 17 UN staff members in Voinjama on 22 April. As a result, WFP lost 408 mt of its 660 mt food stock. Deliveries have resumed despite the looting of a Catholic Relief Services (CRS) warehouse on 6 June.
