In Balan, when two World Food Program (WFP) vehicles rolled into town recently to supervise the cafeteria at a small public school, residents rushed to meet them, hoping for food. The WFP serves one meal a day to more than 500 000 Haitian schoolchildren, providing them with what is often their only meal of the day. The organization also feeds 100 000 women who are pregnant or breastfeeding and 50 000 children under the age of five.
