"Question No 38 by Raimon Obiols i Germà ():
As a result of statements made by Radhouane Nouicer, UNHCR operations manager for North Africa and the Middle East, we learned in early September of the food crisis affecting the 155 000 Saharawi refugees in the Tindouf refugee camps. The WFP reports that if no new food aid is received, refugees will only get 11 per cent of their daily food requirements – about 231 kilocalories per person – in October, compared with the standard ration of flour, pulses, beans, vegetable oil and other products, providing a daily total of 2 100 kilocalories.
The children are in an especially serious position, since according to UNHCR data 35% of them are suffering from chronic malnutrition and 13% from rickets.
We are aware that the Commission has limited resources at its disposal, but is it able to make an immediate contribution in order to alleviate this impending food crisis?
What mechanisms could the Commission use to encourage the Member States to make fresh contributions to the WFP?"@en1
