Yemen, Taiz (Qahira district), 28 February 2016
WFP successfully delivered and distributed in February food rations enough for 18,000 people inside a conflict area in the central Yemeni city of Taiz where residents have been in desperate need of humanitarian assistance. The rations which include vegetable oil, pulses, wheat and sugar, are enough to feed a family of six for one month.
People cue to receive their food rations at Al Moalmeen Institute in Freedom Square neighborhood where heavy fighting is ongoing in Al Qahira District inside Taiz city. This is the second time WFP has had access to Al Qahira conflict zones this year. In January, WFP reached both Al Qahira and Al Mudaffar Districts, distributing food to another 18,000 individuals.
Even before the conflict, Yemen has been the poorest country in the Middle East with high rates of malnutrition. The war has worsened Yemen’s poor food security situation, adding more than 3 million people to the ranks of the hungry in a year.
In the Photo: Residents at Al Moalmeen Institute where WFP distributed food inside conflict zones in Taiz city carry their food rations home. Taiz is one of 10 out of Yemen’s 22 governorates that are in the grip of severe food insecurity at ‘Emergency’ Level, one step below famine.
WFP has been delivering food assistance to parts of Taiz City since December 2015 reaching as many people in need as possible but with the fighting, it has been difficult to move food to all districts of the city.

Drivers easily pick up meals for their children at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) National School Lunch Program (NSLP) Seamless Summer Option's (SSO) alternative to traditional congregant feeding; this affords safe distancing with curbside distribution during the COVID-19 pandemic in the neighborhoods supported by Harlandale Independent School District's (HISD) Armando Leal Jr. Middle School, in San Antonio, TX, on April 9, 2020.
SSO has less paperwork, making it easier for schools to feed children during the traditional summer vacation periods and, for year-round schools, long school vacation periods, and during unanticipated school closures (i.e.the current coronavirus emergency). For more information about Seamless Summer and Other Options for Schools, please go to fns.usda.gov/sfsp/seamless-summer-and-other-options-schools.
Here, a greeter welcomes drivers and ask how many children are being fed. The amount is called out to teammates who then place the bagged meals of hot lunches and cold breakfasts, on a table, then steps back. Drivers lower their windows and pick-up the meals from the table. This alternate workflow with a 6-person team of child nutrition staffers delivers more than 500 meals in 90 minutes. The school has received many thank-you messages from parents and students for providing this service. The staff are highly motivated, happy to see, wave to, and serve the children they have seen grow up.
Because this site is closed tomorrow, children are given two days' worth of breakfast and lunch meals.
The meals fulfill USDA standards and include USDA commodities of turkey sandwiches and apple sauce/strawberry cups. Because of the portable needs of the meals, a bag of multigrain chips replaced hummus for today's grains. The hot meal includes a corndog made from a USDA recipe.

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools and residential child care institutions. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost, or free lunches to children each school day—the National School Lunch Act, signed by President Harry Truman in 1946. For more information about NSLP, please go to fns.usda.gov/nslp/nslp-fact-sheet.
Children need good nutrition all year long. The Summer Food Service Program, National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, and the Seamless Summer Option make it possible for schools to provide nutritious meals after the regular school year ends.
