• This week WFP will initiate its Immediate Response in eastern Ukraine by providing 10,000 daily rations in Donetsk and Luhansk cities—through its NGO cooperating partner (ADRA). Overall, in the following weeks, WFP will distribute 90,000 daily rations.
• Starting October, WFP will support additional 10,000 vulnerable IDPs with Vouchers to be redeemed with food in the oblasts neighbouring Donbas region.
• UNHCR reported over 260,000 IDPs. However, due to the ongoing conflict and the lack of a centralized registration system, UN agencies estimate the total number of IDPs to be double that figure.
• In anticipation of the upcoming winter months, and due to the growing severity of the humanitarian situation, WFP is making preparations to scale up its operations. A full Emergency Operation is being planned to reach around 80,000 individuals over a six month period from October 2014-March 2015.
