World Food Program (WFP) began food distribution to the flood-hit people of Far West districts of Kanchanpur and Kailali on Thursday. Flood victims of Dodhara VDC of Kanchanpur district were the first ones to receive food materials from WFP. According to WFP Field Coordinator Subash Bahadur Singh, families severely hit by the floods will be provided with a one-month supply of food while mildly flood-affected families will get food for 15 days. District Disaster Relief Committee and Nepal Red Cross Society are assisting WFP in the programme. "We expect to complete the food distribution programme in the two districts within one month and we will be distributing over 2000 metric tons of foodstuff to some 28,000 flood-hit families," said Singh. WFP will distribute rice, pulses, cooking oil and salt to these flood hit families. The organisation has already begun the food distribution programme in Bardiya district in the Mid West Region. Tens of thousands of people were displaced by floods and landslides caused by heavy rains in the Mid and War West Nepal in September.
