Published on 12 December 2011

Relief organizations have been working year-round to provide emergency aid when disaster strikes and long-term assistance in the months and years that follow. (..) The World Food Programme is aiming to feed 11 million people in East Africa. The organization is currently reaching almost 8 million. "It's crucially important that especially the children and nursing mothers get highly fortified supplementary foods. For $10 you can feed a woman or a child for three weeks," said WFP spokeswoman Bettina Luescher.
