WFP Ukraine Situation Report #06, 21 January 2015
  • As the humanitarian situation continues to worsen, considering a significant increase in hostilities and its impact on those families who have struggled since the conflict began last year, WFP is scaling up its operations to provide food assistance to 188,000 individuals through the first half of this year. 
  • By the end of January, WFP will have reached 20,000 conflict affected individuals in Donetsk and Luhansk with in -kind food parcels. Another 20,000 food parcels will be prepositioned. 
  • WFP plans to distribute food vouchers for 20,000 people in Donetsk in the coming weeks. Additionally, in Luhansk both cash and vouchers (C&V) will be used to reach another 10,000 people, beginning in early February. 
  • Of all in -kind food distributed to date, more than half has been provided in areas not under government control. For all upcoming assistance, the distribution of food parcels is planned in the buffer zones and areas not under the control of the Government. C&V activities will take place in more secure areas of Donetsk and Luhansk.
