Teen solves centuries-old math problem
ROME, March 4 (UPI) -- The World Food Program said from Rome that it needed open humanitarian corridors to deliver much needed food aid to the Libyan people.
WFP said one of its chartered ships carrying food aid for the Red Crescent Society in Libya had returned to Malta because of security concerns at the Libyan port of Benghazi.
WFP Executive Director Josette Sheeran said her agency was exploring its options to get food aid into Libya. Food aid is on its way to the Tunisian border, she said, but safe humanitarian passages were needed in Libya.
"We are exploring every possible humanitarian corridor to be prepared in case needs escalate," she said in a statement. "We have already airlifted high energy biscuits to the Tunisian border and we are in the process of pre-positioning wheat in the same area."
Sheeran said WFP has launched a three-month, $39.2 million program to provide food assistance to Libyans.
