WFP West Africa Ebola Situation Report #29, 12 June 2015
  • Budget Revision 4 has extended the Emergency Operation until September. WFP will maintain the capacity to care and contain given the continued presence of the virus in the sub-region and new challenges the rains could pose. 
  • Following the recent small-scale ebola outbreak in Boke (Guinea) at the border with Guinea-Bissau - a country with no ebola cases so far - there is concern of a spill-over of the virus across the border. In Guinea, WFP continues to cooperate alongside UNMEER, WHO and health authorities in Boke to support the ongoing response.
  • In Liberia, mobile cash transfers to survivors are well underway. WFP has almost completed the second round of mobile cash transfers to over 1,200 survivors and their households.
  • In Guinea, WFP has reached almost 180,000 people in former hotspot communities that are food insecure; in Liberia so far WFP has reached 190,000 and in Sierra Leone 62,000 people.
