WFP is expanding operations in Ethiopia to reach an additional 4.7 million people in response to the government's urgent appeal for food and nutrition assistance to avoid hunger-related deaths in the coming months.
Much of the destruction caused by Cyclone Nargis – the merciless storm that struck Myanmar two months ago – is still visible. As of today, WFP has reached over 684,000 beneficiaries in the Delta with varying rations of food.
WFP announced an agreement with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea that paves the way for a rapid expansion of its food assistance to more than 5 million hungry people throughout the country.
Thanks to a fast response by donors, the humanitarian air service which flies aid workers to critical areas in Sudan will continue running until the end of September.
