Algiers — The European Union (EU) has recently donated €5.3 million to the United Nations (UN) World Food Programme (WFP) to meet the food needs of thousands of Sahrawi refugees, fight hunger and ensure their food security.
Our support to WFP is vital as it allows thousands of the most vulnerable refugees to receive their required daily intake of calories.
The EU, through its Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations department (ECHO), is the largest donor to WFP's work in support of Sahrawi refugees in Algeria.
"As we are facing an unprecedented worldwide pandemic, WFP would like to thank the EU for their ongoing support to Sahrawi refugee families especially at this critical time," said Khanfir.
"Most Sahrawi refugees rely primarily on WFP assistance for their food needs, and families need our support now more than ever.
