UK continues support WFP cash programme and humanitarian service in Sudan
KHARTOUM, Feb 1 (NNN-Xinhua) — The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) in Sudan recently received some 6 million British pounds from the UK Aid to support vulnerable families in the country.
“This flexible funding will enable WFP to provide emergency food and cash assistance to vulnerable Sudanese families who are food insecure,” the WFP said in a statement.
“It will also go toward providing school meals for girls and boys in primary schools in areas affected by conflict and disaster,” the statement added.
Some 9.8 million people in Sudan face acute food insecurity, about a quarter of its population, according to independent international analysis.
According to the WFP, its funding shortfalls are estimated at 310 million dollars. — NNN-XINHUA
