DAVAO CITY, Philippines -- Reports that children have died of hunger in refugee camps in Mindanao have prompted the World Food Program to ship about 40 tons of high-energy and highly-nutritious biscuits to the camps.
Stephen Anderson, WFP country director and representative to the Philippines, said Saturday that the vitamin-enriched biscuits were scheduled to be off-loaded in three tranches at the Davao International Airport starting on Sunday.
