The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development has decided to grant funds amounting to Rs. 300 million towards urgent food deliveries for the benefit of these people and this would be carried out by the UN World Food Programme (WFP).
"High prices of food, continuing displacements and a critically precarious nutritional-deficiency situation make it urgent that we render assistance to the people in the North of Sri Lanka in their difficult situation," Mrs. Heidemaries Wieczorek-Zeul, the Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development said.
