Nigeria: ICRC donates food to 25,000 people in Rann.

NO fewer than 25,000 people in Rann received food during a three-day distribution by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) that ended on Monday.

“We got 12 trucks full of food to Rann last week on the day of the airstrike, which prevented us to distribute”.

The recipients received rice, beans, oil, salt and Corn Soya Blend in quantities that should last for five weeks. The distribution was carried out by the ICRC and community volunteers.

“People in Rann were happy to receive food. They have been isolated by rains and poor quality roads since June and running very low on food supplies” said Mohammed Sheikh-Ali, ICRC economic security coordinator. “At the beginning of January, we laid sand bags on the road for our trucks to be able to cross. We got 12 trucks full of food to Rann last week on the day of the airstrike, which prevented us to distribute. As soon as medical evacuations were over, we organised the distribution with the help of the community”.

 

Last week’s airstrike killed and wounded scores of people, including twenty aid workers from the Nigerian Red Cross Society.
