The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is providing food to more than 7,000 Syrian refugees in Egypt, through a newly-launched food voucher operation.
“WFP plans to provide assistance to as many as 30,000 Syrians in Egypt by June 2013,” Country Director and Representative in Egypt, Gian Pietro Bordignon, said in a statement.
Under the programme, Syrian refugees registered with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) receive an electronic or paper-based voucher card on a monthly basis. The card can be exchanged in a local participating supermarket for food such as cereals, dairy products, fruits and vegetables.
The efforts are part of the 2013 Syria Humanitarian Assistance Response Plan to assist 4 million people in collaboration with UN agencies, funds and programmes.
