- WFP in Ukraine is preparing to scale up its response to reach 120,000 individuals through a new Emergency Operation (EMOP). Beginning in November, the EMOP will cover critical food needs during cold weather months through April 2015.
- On 2 October, WFP received a formal request from the Government of Ukraine (GoU) for additional food assistance in support to affected communities in the eastern region. This follows the GoU appeal to the international community for some US$1.6 billion in assistance for the recovery of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts.
- The EMOP builds on WFP’s ongoing assistance in eastern Ukraine. Through its NGO partners, over 77,000 daily rations have been distributed to IDPs in transit, centres, or communal residences, as well as vulnerable populations trapped in conflict zones. Of this total, 17,500 daily rations were distributed in Luhansk and Donetsk cities.
- Food voucher distributions have begun in northern Donetsk oblast. To date, nearly 5,000 IDPs have already been provided their entitlement — sufficient for one month’s food needs per recipient.
