United Nations, New York, 2 Feburary 2010 - The World Food Programme (WFP) scaled up its operations in Haiti yesterday (31 January) using a better coordinated and coupon based system that promotes a more secure food distribution environment. As United Nations (UN) peacekeepers watched over the site, thousands of women formed orderly lines to collect food in exchange for coupons that were distributed to various families on Saturday. In an effort to promote food stability, the 16 fixed sites are expected to facilitate the delivery of all kinds of humanitarian assistance in the weeks and months to come. The first phase of distribution will continue for the next 15 days.
