The World Food Programme (WFP) is aiming to provide food rations to last a month to six million people and assess upcoming challenges before launching a new appeal by mid September, says WFP’s country director for Pakistan, Wolfgang Herbinger. The agency is also in the process of enriching its food basket, adding yellow peas, salt, tea and sugar to it. Herbinger says that while crops have suffered a lot of damage, “wheat land is still secure. The country still has enough wheat, which is the ingredient for high energy biscuits and baby food.”
