S. Korea extends $ 1.2m aid to back five African states in food crisis
The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) received $1.2 million from South Korea to provide humanitarian activities for food crisis in five African countries; Ethiopia, Nigeria, Madagascar, South Sudan and Burkina Faso.
Chris Nikoi, WFP Regional Director for Western Africa, said “We are grateful for this generous and timely contribution from the government of the Republic of Korea and Korean people to some of the most severe food-insecure communities in Burkina Faso and Nigeria.”
Menghestab Haile, WFP Regional Director for Southern Africa, said “Because of climate change, COVID-19 and lack of access to water, populations in Southern Madagascar are facing unprecedented levels of food insecurity and malnutrition. The number of people on the verge of starvation is likely to double as we are close to the start of the lean season in October. We are therefore grateful for this generous and timely contribution from the government of the Republic of Korea and Korean people which is making a significant difference in the lives of people.”
This contribution will boost WFP’s humanitarian efforts, including food assistance for vulnerable communities in five countries.
