Montas told reporters at the U.N. Headquarters in New York that the World Food Program is providing enough legumes and oil for 100,000 people for one month, initially in the Rift Valley in Kenya.

She noted that according to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the United Nations and the Kenyan Red Cross Society estimate that at least 100,000 people require immediate humanitarian assistance in the northern Rift Valley alone.

Many of them are stranded without food, shelter, water, fuel, essential medicines or protection, Montas added.
