WFP lacks funds for emergency programme

    NAIROBI

    Inadequate resourcing continues to hamper emergency assistance to war-affected people in Brazzaville, WFP said in its latest weekly emergency report. WFP needs close to 3,500 mt of food per month to assist 200,000 people. WFP has appealed to donors for urgent contributions to assist these people, who are “emerging from their hideouts in dense forest where they hid for almost ten months,” the report said. Some 8,600 people in Brazzaville received WFP food aid during the second week of June, it added.
