Food aid to Azerbaijan in jeopardy

12 October 2006 [18:58] - TODAY.AZ
Food aid in Azerbaijan is dwindling because of funding shortages and could run out within weeks.

Jean Ziegler, the UN special rapporteur on the right to food, said international assistance for displaced persons in Russia's Chechnya could be cut entirely by the end of the month.

In Azerbaijan, where hundreds of thousands have been made homeless because of a territorial dispute with Armenia, Ziegler said food aid stocks would only last until the end of October. Reuters, RFE/RL
