Johannesburg, Angola - Efforts to feed needy Angolans have received a boost with the arrival of 1,880 mt of maize donated by the Russian government, the World Food Programme (WFP) said on Wednesday.

"The donation will help alleviate the suffering of thousands of vulnerable people in the country, at a time when the needs are high and food stocks are limited," a WFP statement said.

According to the latest UN appeal for Angola, UN agencies and NGOs, in close consultation with the government, aim to provide emergency assistance to more than one million vulnerable people during 2004.
