The Chinese government on Wednesday donated much-needed humanitarian assistance in support of the United Nations World Food Program s (WFP) operations in the East African country.
The donation, comprising 4,000 metric tonnes of maize, is said to cover food ration for about 268,000 Internally Displaced People (IDPs) in Ethiopia s drought-prone Somali regional state, it was noted.
Paul Turnbull, Deputy Country Director of WFP to Ethiopia, said as the Somali region is where most of WFP s responsibilities for relief operations lay, it s very, very important that we maintain our contributions into the Somali region.
