World Food Programme
• WFP has provided emergency food assistance to more than two million Haitians since the January 12 earthquake. More than one million of these people have received food through a scaled up distribution of rice rations that began on 31 January.
• WFP has set up 16 fixed distribution sites in Port-au-Prince and introduced a coupon system to ramp up efforts to get food out.
• In and around the badly-hit town of Leogane, WFP has provided food assistance including high energy biscuits, ready-to-eat meals (MREs) and dry rations, to more than 80,000 people.
• In Jacmel, WFP is providing hot meals at 40 different sites to more than 28,000 people every day. We are also providing daily meals to more than 3,000 children in this area.
