Benghazi, 29 January 2016:
The UN’s World Food Programme is still struggling to find the funding to send food . . .[restrict]to Libyans who have fled their homes for other places in the country.
WFP says it sent food to 290,000 people in Libya last year but had to stop deliveries from September to November due to a lack of funding.
It is hoping to reach 70,000 refugees every month this year but says it still needs to raise $29 million from international donors in order to hit this target.
This week the last of a series of convoys rolled into the city from Egypt, completing the delivery of a thousand tons of food aid for tens of thousands of refugees in and around Benghazi have
The rations, sent by the United Nations World Food Programme are designed to feed a family of five for a month. They include pasta, rice and tinned foods. The food is being distributed from their Benghazi warehouse by the charity LibAid. [/restrict]
