Banditry, Abductions May Reduce WFP Food Supplies For Darfur Displaced
A rash of banditry is threatening food supplies to more than
two
million people in Darfur, raising the possibility that rations will have
to
be cut, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) said.
So far this year, bandits have stolen 23 WFP-contracted trucks and
abducted
their drivers - 19 drivers are still missing. "We're extremely
worried
about the impact on the vulnerable people of Darfur," said
WFP
Representative Kenro Oshidari, adding that WFP was also concerned about
the
fate of the missing drivers.
"Our main trucking companies now refuse to send in more vehicles because
of
this upsurge in banditry and therefore we have no one to deliver about
half
our monthly food relief requirement. If the situation continues, we'll
be
forced to cut rations in parts of Darfur by mid-February," Oshidari said.
Attacks on trucks carrying WFP supplies, abductions of drivers and
trucks,
looting of WFP supplies and drivers' personal property and beatings
of
WFP-contracted drivers to intimidate them have increased in recent
months.
WFP is urging Sudanese authorities to ensure the safety of main routes
in
Darfur.
From September to December 2007, a total of 13 WFP contract trucks
were
stolen or attacked. Of these, three drivers were killed, three
drivers
escaped and a further seven drivers were released. All but three of
the
trucks have been recovered.
In December, WFP fed 2.1 million conflict-affected people in Darfur,
most
of them internally displaced people in camps. A total of
106,000
vulnerable people could not be reached with food assistance in
December
because of insecurity.
Some 40,000 metric tons of food is needed to feed Darfur's most
vulnerable
people each month. The transport companies currently refusing to
send
their trucks back into Darfur normally deliver between 15,000 and
20,000
tons per month.
"Without these deliveries, WFP faces a rapid depletion of stocks and
the
inability to pre-position food ahead of the rainy season, which is due
to
start in May," Oshidari said. WFP is working out what form ration
cuts
might take, where, and how many people would be affected if the
banditry
continues.
In 2008, WFP plans to feed up to 5.6 million people in Sudan on a budget
of
US$697 million. Air drops, which cost four times as much as
road
deliveries, were phased out in Darfur in 2005 and a massive
trucking
operation was put in place to deliver food efficiently throughout
the
region.
The monthly food ration in Darfur includes cereals,
high-nutrition
corn-soya blend, pulses, vegetable oil, sugar and salt and provides a
total
of 2,100 kilocalories per person per day.
WFP is the world's largest humanitarian agency: on average, each year, we
give food to 90 million poor people to meet their nutritional needs,
including 58 million hungry children, in 80 of the world's poorest
countries.
