iciHaiti - Humanitarian : WFP has already distributed 6,600 tons of food
29/11/2016 09:00:15

Between 8 October and 25 November, World Food Program (WFP) reached 630,000 people with 6,600 metric tons of food. Supplementary feeding has reached 3,130 children between the ages of 6 months to 59 months.

The first food distribution phase is expected to be completed on 10 December. Discussions have begun on the second phase of distributions (for food and cash). While the registration of beneficiaries for cash-based transfers (CBT) has started in 2 of the 7 targeted communes.

Distributions are supposed to start on the second week of December. The Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor (MAST) has sent a team to Jérémie to support local MAST in rolling out CBT.

In parallel an estimated 4,500 families will receive seeds for planting between 26 November and 3 December.

The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) underline that many families risk missing the planting season, for which the best period is by mid-November.
