Refugee Food Rations in Malawi

WFP Malawi provides food assistance to refugees at Dzaleka Camp, including the new arrivals at Karonga Transit Shelter (the main entry point for asylum seekers from the Horn of Africa and the Great Lakes regions). WFP feeds approximately 14,000 refugees each month.

 

All refugees receive a monthly food basket consisting of cereal, pulses, vegetable oil, sugar, salt and corn‐soya blend (CSB). This food assistance plays a crucial role in meeting the basic food needs of the refugees and help prevent malnutrition. Furthermore, it facilitates the elimination of food insecurity and negative coping mechanisms.
