Lesotho children to get emergency food aid
Thousands of primary school pupils in Lesotho are to receive emergency food aid through the United Nations World Food Programme.
The agency said food prices had risen sharply after widespead looting, which followed the recent attempted coup in Lesotho and intervention by South African troops.
The aid will consist of school meals for around eighteen-thousand children in the Maseru area.
The World Food programme already feeds around 140,000 schoolchildren in other parts of the kingdom.
