WFP gives food assistance<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) will
\nprovide free food assistance to 22,024 flood victims and 1,391
\nchildren in Situbondo, East Java, through its local implementing
\npartner, Spektra.<\/p>\n
A letter of agreement was signed by WFP representative and
\ncountry director Mohamed Saleheen and Roni Sya'roni, director of
\nSpektra, in Situbondo on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The assistance is aimed at providing relief aid to the flood
\nvictims who are residing in temporary shelters and with host
\nfamilies in three most affected villages of Panji, Panarukan and
\nSitubondo.<\/p>\n
WFP said in a statement that the assistance, which was for 30-
\nday period, would consist of 220.24 tons of rice and 700
\nkilograms of Delvita, WFP's supplemental food for children.<\/p>\n
Each person will be entitled to 10 kilograms of rice, while
\nchildren under five years of age will receive five sachets (500
\ngrams) of Delvita.<\/p>\n
This is in addition to the earlier assistance provided by WFP
\nto the flood victims in Jakarta and East Java early last month.
