WFP To Feed 200,000 Vulnerable People Affected By Food Emergency In Tajikistan
The United Nations World Food Programme said it was
appealing for an extra US$8.3 million to help feed hundreds of thousands
of people in Tajikistan suffering from food shortages amid soaring food
and fuel prices, in the coldest winter the country has seen for three
decades and an unprecedented energy crisis.
The UN food agency's request is part of a wider UN joint appeal for
US$25 million to help Tajikistan cope with a harsh cold spell that has
prompted the government to ration electricity, water and gas supplies in
a country where nearly two thirds of the population are classified as
poor.
WFP said it would use the funds to purchase and distribute three months
worth of emergency food rations for 200,000 of the most vulnerable
people, the majority of whom live in rural areas. WFP's NGO partners
will assist an additional 60,000 of the affected people.
Tajikistan's millions have been forced to spend more of what little
money they have on fuel to keep warm in temperatures that have dropped
to as low as -25°C. With high food prices - linked to rising global
prices - more and more people are unable to buy enough food to sustain
themselves and their families.
"People are spending substantially more on food then before and eating
less, much less. We already see many poor families forced to eat just
one meal a day. Many have already sold their animals and other
productive assets," said WFP Tajikistan Country Director Zlatan Milisic.
"About 10 percent of the rural population, or 500,000 people, are
chronically food insecure and a further 17 percent are very vulnerable
to food insecurity," Milisic said. "This is the last thing they needed."
WFP already has a two-year operation in Tajikistan - which started in
July 2007 - to assist 591,000 people with 37,700 metric tons of food at
an overall cost of US$23 million and is already providing regular basic
food assistance to around 300,000 to 400,000 persons in 40 districts of
Tajikistan.
The operation encourages children to enrol and attend school, supports
malnourished children, pregnant and lactating women and tuberculosis
patents and helps communities rehabilitate their assets. It also
provides emergency aid to victims of natural disasters, such as
earthquakes, landslides, mud flows and floods.
Some food from the ongoing operation has already being transferred or
loaned for the emergency response. WFP is currently preparing a dispatch
of some 1,850 metric tons of food for around 105,000 of the most
critically affected people. "As soon as we receive confirmations of new
funding, we will be able to advance further emergency relief to the
people in need, from the existing stocks," Milisic said.
So far, WFP has received US$2.2 million from the UN Central Emergency
Revolving Fund (CERF). Italy has contributed a further US$216,000,
leaving a shortfall of just below US$5.9 million.
WFP is the world's largest humanitarian agency: in 2008. we plan to
provide food to more than 70 million people - mostly women and children
- in around 80 of the world's poorest countries.
