Food aid from Germany for North IDPs

The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development has decided to grant funds amounting to Rs. 300 million towards urgent food deliveries for the benefit of the Internally Displaced people (IDPs) in the North.

This would be carried out by the UN World Food Program (WFP). "High prices of food, continuing displacements and a nutritional-deficiency situation make it urgent that we render assistance to the people in the North," said Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development Heidemaries Wieczorek-Zeul.
