Reduced WFP rations for Sudanese refugees in eastern Chad
The Sudanese refugees of camp Gaga in eastern Chad are suffering from a reduction in food rations, poor medical services and a lack of medicine. Yassin Abdel Karim, the deputy president of the camp told Radio Dabanga that the World Food Programme (WFP) has reduced sugar, salt and oil supplies by 50 percent. The WFP has also withdrawn millet mixture from the food ration since the beginning of this year, without providing any explanation. Karim also said that the health centre in the camp has a shortage of staff and medicines. He appealed to humanitarian organisations to restore the rations to previous levels, reconsider reducing items from the food ration, and provide medicine.File photo
