World Food Program: Tsunami
For the hungry, every day is about finding enough food to survive: farmers cannot afford to risk trying new agricultural methods, when they can barely subsist on a small patch of land; the unemployed never have a chance to learn new skills if they spend all day scraping a living on the black market; and, poverty-stricken communities hit by floods or droughts are too busy looking for food to rebuild infrastructure vital for redevelopment. WFP has delivered about 100 metric tonnes of food to villagers from Oriny in Upper Nile State of southern Sudan. It is the third week of airdrops in different southern Sudan states. Food is expected to be delivered to some 45,000 people who have been cut off by rain, and whose crop has also failed due to recent flooding
