The World Food Programme (WFP) has launched an emergency food relief operation that has been described as the largest operation the United Nations (UN) agency has ever undertaken in Malawi.
Announcing this at the end of a three-day visit to Malawi, WFP Executive Director Ertharin Cousin said as many as 6.5 million people – nearly 40 percent of the country’s population – may require emergency assistance in coming months.
“I’ve talked with women in rural areas who told me they have enough food for just a few more weeks.
“WFP must urgently assist the people of Malawi and those affected by the drought in neighbouring countries before food insecurity spirals into hunger and starvation,” said Cousin.
She added that Malawi is one of the countries in Southern Africa worst affected by El Niño-related drought.
“Its food security crisis is not only due to this year’s unprecedented drought but to the impact of severe flooding and prolonged dry spells last year,” she said.
WFP concluded its last round of food and cash-based relief in Malawi in April this year.
Meanwhile the UN agency says it will need $217 million in order to produce, transport and preposition food stocks in Malawi where 80 percent of people affected by hunger are smallholder farmers.

hello I’m Samuel Okizou by name, I’m giving a testimony about Dr.Sule the great Herbalist, he has the cure to all manner of diseases, he cured my HIV disease, though I went through different website I saw different testimonies about different herbalists, I was like: “Many people have the HIV cure why are people still suffering from it?” I thought of it, then I contact Dr.Sule via email, I didn’t believe him that much, I just wanted to give him a try, he replied my mail and Needed some Information about me, then I sent them to him, he prepared the CURE and sent it to me via UPS courier service, they told me that it will take 3-4 days before I’ll get the parcel, 3 days later I received the package and I started taking the medicine as prescribed by him, after 7 days of taking the medicine I went for check-up, I was tested HIV NEGATIVE… IF YOU ARE SERIOUS YOU WILL BE CURED!!! contact Dr Sule on whats-app +2348162447651
