Northern Uganda Food Situation

Things have looked up for the displaced residents of northern Uganda recently. The European Commission's Humanitarian Aid Office made a generous donation that, together with other other recent contributions, will allow the Word Food Program to increase the amount of food distributed to IDPs in June. The increase will bring food distribution up to 60% of the daily caloric needs of the camp residents, which together with coming harvests should reduce malnutrition in the camps.

The World Food Program is still waiting on almost half of the $134 million that it will take to feed IDPs for all of 2007.
