by


Just visited a press conference of World Food Programm. James T.Morris executive director of the WFP is just back from a tour through the region. “I have seen many bad situations.” Morris was not able to visit Somalia because of security reasons and praised the Kenyan government and thanked them for their excellent cooperation. So far Kenyan government has distributed 60.000 tons of mais and rice, but more is needed. Kenyans are complaing about the fact that the there are stocks of food in the Western part of their country, but accoording to Morris is that not enough. The 60.000 tons of rice and mais is enough for march and april. WFP needs 189 million usdollar for the finacing of logistics and food for the coming months. Listen top part of the press conference (MP3) here.
