The UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) is all set to meet with the confronting challenges of food insucurity especially in the aftermath of two months into the flooding, economic loss and social impact, millions of hungry flood victims are awaiting emergency relief.In the midst of such an unparalleled disaster, the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) is actively engaged in tackling the worst food crisis in Pakistan’s history, with a shorter-run plan and a longer-term program, WFP Pakistan Country Director Wolfgang Herbinger told Chinese news agency in an interview on Sunday.

The aid agency, teamed up with the government of Pakistan, is leading a pilot UN development program to help the country for better disaster management and to improve the handling of food insecurity. “WFP has a leading role working closely with the government at national, provincial, and district level to improve their own capacity to handle the disasters,” Herbinger said.
Pakistan has been on a good track of development but since 2003 the food insecurity has deteriorated due to natural calamities, global food price hiking and militancy conflicts, he said, so WFP set a program for next two years, until the end of 2012.
