US donates $37.5m for WFP’s emergency operations

KHARTOUM, Sudan, June 15, 2005 (PANA) — The United States has
donated US$37.5 million towards the UN World Food
Programme’s emergency operations in Sudan’s war
ravaged south, the WFP has said.

The Rome-based WFP expressed appreciation for “a new
generous contribution from the United States” to be
used in the south, east and transitional areas of
Sudan to feed 3.2 million people in 2005.

The contribution has cut the shortfall on the US$302
million operation to 59%, the UN agency said.
