The European Commission on Thursday donated $1.3 million to the U.N. World Food Program (WFP) to provide food assistance to Western Saharan refugees in Algeria. Time and again, the European Commission has shown its generosity and concern by funding WFP's work in assisting these refugees, who remain extremely dependent on humanitarian aid, said WFP Algeria director Marius de Gaay Fortman. The donation will help to combat malnutrition and stunted growth of children.
