    WFP Cancels Aid Flights in West Africa

    By Ma. Rizza Leonzon // 16 June 2010

    The World Food Program has been forced to suspend humanitarian flights to Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia after failing to mobilize sufficient funding.

    WFP, which manages the United Nations Humanitarian Air Service, was not able to mobilize USD2.5 million needed to support the aid flights until the end of 2010.

    UNHAS serves some 500 humanitarian passengers a month, including staff of non-governmental organizations, U.N. agencies and donor institutions.
