WFP to Double Food Aid to Zimbabwe
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has announced that it will double the number of Zimbabweans it feeds because of the famine in the impoverished African country.
WFP spokesperson, Emilia Casella, points out that: "What's particularly concerning is that there is currently no food in the pipeline for Zimbabwe in January and February."
Casella, who argues that the UN envisions feeding up to 45 percent of Zimbabweans, says that: “Each person WFP feeds in Zimbabwe will now receive a cereal ration of 10kg per month, down from 12kg. Pulses per person will be cut to a kilogram, down from 1.8kg.
