Living conditions vary - WFP

    NAIROBI

    WFP says recent assessments carried out at accessible regroupment sites show that living conditions vary from site to site. In its latest weekly report, the UN food agency said some sites required urgent assistance for all basic needs, while others needed only water. Plans are underway to issue identity cards to allow more freedom of movement to the regrouped population.

    Non-essential food-for-work distributions have been put on hold pending food availability, WFP said. Distribution of seed protection rations is continuing in Bubanza and Kayanza provinces, considered as high priority cases for seed protection programmes. The distribution of seed rations in Makamba was postponed due to insecurity.
