WORLD Food Programme (WFP) has extended the USAID-funded food aid assistance scheme benefiting 326 000 families across the country to June.

Initially, beneficiaries were expecting to receive funding until the end of this month, completing the first six-month phase.

The programme was launched by WFP in October last year and is being implemented by various partners across the country.

WFP spokesperson Ms Clere Neville said at least 22 areas across the country were benefitting under the programme.
