Cooking Fuel and the Humanitarian Response in the Horn of Africa

Published

Food is an urgent need in Kenya, Somalia, and other neighboring countries, and the World Food Programme (WFP) and its implementing partners are urgently distributing food rations to as many refugees and internally displaced persons inside Somalia as possible.

Cooking fuel is therefore just as critical as the food itself, particularly over the long term.
