WFP Food Force - The Game, The Reality, How to Help

Updated Tuesday 28 June 2005

WFP has helped many in the region by delivering food using trucks travelling across the Sahara or airdrops. WFP will continue to work hard saving lives and improving the nutritional status of the those affected by the war.

However, funds are short and this makes it very difficult for WFP to meet the needs to all the people that need help. Carlos Veloso, WFP’s Emergency Coordinator for Darfur says “The people of Darfur need urgent aid. They don’t have other options. The conflict in the region has robbed them of their homes and livelihoods. We have to do everything we can to make sure the assistance we provide meets their basic needs.”
