Floods And Bitter Cold Snap Leave Thousands In Need Of Food Assistance In Colombia And Peru
Severe weather in Latin America - floods in Colombia and a
deadly cold snap in Peru -has left nearly 100,000 of some of the
continent's poorest people in need of emergency food assistance, the
United
Nations World Food Programme said.
The worst flooding in decades following an unusually intense rainy season
in Colombia has claimed at least 57 lives, with 100 people missing and
443,000 left homeless, their crops and animals washed away.
Meanwhile in the Andean mountains of Peru, the coldest weather in thirty
years, with sub-freezing temperatures of an average of minus 27, has
caused
an epidemic of pneumonia and other respiratory diseases. At least 70
children under-five have died and 600,000 people have fallen sick.
"In these types of emergencies, it is the very poor that are always the
most affected," said WFP Latin America Regional Director Pedro Medrano.
"In
both these disasters, thousands of families have lost their crops and
their
livestock. WFP's food assistance will allow those affected to concentrate
on rebuilding their lives and their communities," he said.
In Colombia, WFP is boosting the government's relief effort and is drawing
up plans to distribute food rations for an initial three months to 50,000
to 60,000 beneficiaries depending on the results of an ongoing emergency
food needs assessment. The assessment is being carried out in 15
municipalities in the Mojana region in the northern part of the country
and
to indigenous peoples in the west.
"The Colombian Government responded in a timely and efficient manner and
gave the victims adequate attention, but the number of people together
with
the prolonged rains has gone beyond everybody's predictions," said Praveen
Agrawal, Colombia's Country Director.
In Peru, the agency is going to provide food assistance to more than
34,000
poor people affected by the freezing temperatures as well as respiratory
sicknesses caused by the cold.
Emergency food distributions started during the weekend in the town of
Chito, in the Department of Vilcashuaman, and are expected to continue
during the month of August in the Departments of Ayacucho and
Huancavelica.
Despite a recent improvement in the temperatures, the Peruvian National
Weather Service (SENAMHI) is warning that a new cold wave is expected to
arrive to Peru as soon as tomorrow, Thursday. In the meantime, in the
lower
parts of the affected areas up to 4,000 metres above sea level, the whole
harvest has been lost to frost and hailstones. In the highest areas, where
the only economic activity is the raising of llamas and alpacas, all the
animals have died of the cold.
"We are very concerned about the increasing number of people affected by
the biting cold temperatures," said Medrano. "This WFP emergency operation
will complement similar government operations being carried in the
affected
areas," he said.
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. WFP - We Feed People.
WFP Global School Feeding Campaign - For just 20 US cents a day, you can

of hope for a brighter future.
