Nearly 90,000 at Zam Zam camp no longer entitled to WFP rations

Nearly 90,000 people at Zam Zam camp near El Fasher are at risk of losing entitlement to food aid. Sources said the World Food Programme (WFP) told them they no longer qualify for food rations. The WFP met with camp leaders and reviewed the 180,000 names of beneficiaries. After updating the list with deaths and newborns the result found 98,344 entitled to food rations and 82,618 no longer entitled. Witnesses at the camp said they do understand why such a large number has lost access to food. Other sources said the WFP accuses some displaced people of spending their food rations in ‘other places’. They appealed to the WFP to take into account the conditions of people displaced from their homes and keep providing them with aid.
