WFP Launches Operation To Help Feed Over One Million Displaced Iraqis In Iraq And Syria
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP)
announced the start of a US$126 million emergency operation to provide
food assistance to more than one million displaced Iraqis who are unable
to meet their basic food needs due to the continuing violence in Iraq.
The one-year operation will run until December 2008 and assist 750,000
of the most vulnerable Iraqis displaced within the country, as well as
more than 360,000 Iraqis who have fled to Syria.
"We are facing a growing humanitarian crisis as a result of the
continuing violence in Iraq. An increasing number of displaced people
cannot meet their food needs and therefore require more help. We hope
that the food assistance we provide can help avert a much bigger
crisis," WFP Iraq Country Director Stefano Porretti said.
In Iraq, WFP will supply a complementary food package, consisting of
wheat flour, white beans and vegetable oil, to the most vulnerable
internally displaced persons (IDPs). These are people who are unable to
get their food rations provided under Iraq's Public Distribution System
(PDS) due to various difficulties including the transfer of their ration
cards to their new place of residence.
The 750,000 are the most vulnerable among an estimated 2.2 million IDPs
in Iraq, many of whom are now living with host families, in abandoned
buildings or in poorly supported camps.
In response to this crisis, the Government of Iraq and a number of NGOs
have started providing limited basic assistance, including food to the
IDPs. But regular additional support is required to complement this
assistance. WFP's assistance is not intended to replace the government
food rations and will phase out as soon as the Government absorbs the
IDPs into the PDS.
In Syria, WFP will provide monthly food rations, consisting of rice,
vegetable oil and lentils, initially to 155,000 needy Iraqis, with the
aim of reaching about 360,000 by the end of 2008.
Syria, which has up until recently provided shelter to virtually all
that have arrived at the border, is home to over 1.5 million Iraqis -
many of whom have no savings, no income and no means of support.
"The needs of Iraqis in Syria are mounting. Many have depleted their
meagre resources and cannot cope with the rising costs of living. They
desperately need humanitarian help," WFP Syria Country Director Pippa
Bradford said.
In a recent UN assessment, conducted in collaboration with the Syrian
Arab Red Crescent, about a third of Iraqi respondents said they skipped
one meal a day to feed their children, while 60 percent said they were
buying less expensive foods, often less nutritious, to cope with rising
prices.
The emergency operation will be implemented in close cooperation with
the respective Governments as well as the UN agencies and other
partners. Priority will be given to local and regional purchases of food
whenever possible.
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.
