WFP Delivers Life-Saving Aid to One Million People in Burkina Faso
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has reached one million people with life-saving food assistance in Burkina Faso, where conflict and displacement have left millions in need of humanitarian aid.
The WFP is providing food rations, cash transfers, and nutrition support to vulnerable families in Burkina Faso, where an estimated 2.9 million people are facing severe food insecurity. The conflict in the country has forced more than 1.5 million people to flee their homes, and many are now living in displacement camps or with host families.
“The situation in Burkina Faso is extremely concerning,” said WFP Executive Director David Beasley. “Conflict and displacement have left millions of people in need of food assistance, and the situation is only getting worse.”
The WFP is scaling up its operations in Burkina Faso to reach even more people in need. The agency is also working with partners to provide nutrition support to children and pregnant and nursing women.
“We are committed to doing everything we can to help the people of Burkina Faso,” said Beasley. “We will continue to provide food assistance and nutrition support to those who need it most.”
The WFP is urging donors to provide more funding to support its operations in Burkina Faso. The agency needs $153 million to provide food assistance to 1.3 million people in Burkina Faso in 2023.
Here are some additional details about the WFP’s work in Burkina Faso:
- The WFP is providing food rations to more than 800,000 people in Burkina Faso.
- The WFP is providing cash transfers to more than 200,000 people in Burkina Faso.
