Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The World Food Programme (WFP) on Wednesday distributed food to more than 500 internally displaced persons sheltering in Northern Bahr el Ghazal State.<\/p>\n

The displaced, from Abyei region, are living at Akuom Boma in Aweil East County.<\/p>\n

WFP\u2019s deputy head of programmes in Aweil field office, Yolanda Ille Felix, said food distributed consisted of cooking oil, rice, cereals, salt and oil, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe beneficiaries that received food in this location are about 500 because we concluded the first distribution in January, others were saved in January,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

She said the batch that received food on Wednesday had initially missed out.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Aweil East, we have 130,000 beneficiaries that are going to benefit from general food distribution because this location is priority one for WFP and it is classified under IPC [Integrated Food Security Classification,\u201d explained Ille.<\/p>\n

The UN agency, she further stressed, also provided blanket supplementary feeding food for pregnant and lactating mothers and those under the age of five.<\/p>\n

Joyce Jokudu Amos, a six children, said the food will ease the hunger situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thank WFP for providing us with food assistance. Today [Wednesday], I received cereals, oil salt, rice and this food will take me two weeks,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

About 8.1 million people fled their homes in Sudan and this includes about 6.3 million people displaced within Sudan and another 1.8 million people who fled abroad, UN figures show.<\/p>\n
