Assistance alimentaire d’urgence en faveur des personnes affectées et particulièrement vulnérables de l’épidémie Ebola dans la région forestière WFP proposes to provide 8,500 people who have been directly and indirectly affected by the Ebola virus.  The Ebola virus has isolated the sick including those who are suspected but unconfirmed to have the virus, and their families.  There is also significant impact on the market in these communities with less commodities entering the market, causing a spike in food prices and reducing access to food.  Thus, WFP will provide a basket of food including rice, pulses, vegetable oil and salt targeting the sick, those who are suspected of having it and their families as well as the food insecure and vulnerable members within the communities of Guékédou, Macenta et Kissidougou, who have been isolated due to the virus.
