Fletcher meets Mikati, says WFP can extend support to approximately 800000 Lebanese

Prime Minister Najib Mikati welcomed on Wednesday at the Grand Serail World Food Program (WFP) Regional Director Corinne Fletcher accompanied by WFP director in Lebanon Dr. Abdallah AlWardat.

Following the meeting, Fletcher said that talks with the Prime Minister mainly focused of the World Food Program’s support to Syrian refugees in Lebanon.

"Today, the WFP is doubling its assistance to the needy Lebanese people through a program of assistance to the poorest families," Fletcher said.

"Through our other programs, we can extend support to approximately 800000 Lebanese families by the end of the current year," she added, expressing the WFP’s full readiness to work with Mikati’s government in support of those mostly in need of assistance.
