The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has launched $126-million year-long emergency operation to feed more than 1 million displaced Iraqis.
"We hope that the food assistance we provide can help avert a much bigger crisis," WFP Iraq Country Director Stefano Porretti said. "We are facing a growing humanitarian crisis as a result of the continuing violence in Iraq. An increasing number of displaced people cannot meet their food needs and therefore require more help."
