Camp Kalma accepts WFP re-registration
Native administrators of camp Kalma in South Darfur agreed to accept a re-registration of cards for food distribution by the World Food Programme (WFP). The camp leaders had rejected a re-registration for six months as it sparked fear among the residents of Kalma. They feared they will not be given renewed cards, and thus not receive food rations, once they submit their original documents. Today’s approval came after the WFP cancelled the distribution of food for six months and required the full approval of camp residents to re-registrate their cards.The leaders of the camp call on the WFP to start distributing food before organizing the re-registration. After being deprived from food distribution for six months, the humanitarian conditions in the camp are severe.
