(b) Between 1 to 28 May, WFP dispatched a total amount of 40,167 tons of food from logistical hubs to the Darfur region in Sudan. (c) In Uganda, over 20,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) returning to their villages in Lira district received a 3-month resettlement ration. (d) In DR Congo, over 12,700 returnees from the Republic of Congo are expected to arrive in Mbandaka and surrounding areas by the end of December 2006. (e) During the heavy rains in May and April around 4,500 houses and nearly 1,400 hectares of various farm crops were destroyed in Burundi. (f) Food transportation to Somali region in Ethiopia is becoming increasingly difficult due to heightened insecurity, poor road infrastructure and low transportation capacity. (g) On 21 May 2006, close to 148,000 people in East and Central African countries joined hundreds of thousands of their fellow citizens around the globe to participate in Walk the World to call for the end of child hunger. Globally more than 760,000 people participated in 420 different locations, in 118 countries, spanning all 24 time zones. (h) The report from the Regional Bureau in Johannesburg will be received on a fortnightly basis from now on. Submissions for June will be made on the 9th and 23rd June. (B) Middle East,Central Asia and Eastern Europe: (1) Afghanistan (2) Occupied Palestinian Territories (3) Russian Federation (Caucasus) (1) Afghanistan (a) During the reporting period (25-31 May), the general security situation in Afghanistan remained volatile and continued to deteriorate, including the violent demonstrations in Kabul City on 29 May, the killing of four local workers of Action Aid, an International NGO, in the northern province of Jawzjan, and intensified anti government elements activities around the country. The Government has declared a night-curfew in Kabul City. Following the violent protests, United Nations restricted movements of its staff on 29 and 30 May. This as well as the cancelling of all UNHAS flights to Mazar airport in 1 Emergency Report 2006-22 the Northern region due to threats of rocket attack have hampered travels and monitoring missions. (b) This year’s overall harvest forecast was predicted to be good in the north, indication were that drought conditions may prevail in east, south and southwest. The Ministry of Agriculture recent most information suggest a substantially downwards harvest figures. The cereal deficit previously estimated at 500,000 tons is now preliminarily estimated at 900,000 tons. (c) WFP is facing a funding crisis and without additional donations, the agency will cut back its aid activities in the second half of 2006 – endangering the nutritional status and livelihoods of millions of Afghans as well as the country’s fragile recovery. Severe shortages of most commodities may happen from the beginning of August, including almost no wheat for the last 5 months of the year and no pulses and no salt from September-December. WFP needs approximately 50,000 tons for an approximate cost of 30 million dollars. (d) In Hirat province, upon completion of assessment of damage from last week floods in Ghor Province, WFP has agreed to assist 376 affected families with 22 tons of mixed food, as part of a coordinated response by Government and UN agencies. In the north-eastern provinces of Takhar and Badakshan, WFP are providing food to 122 families affected by the floods. (e) During the reporting period, WFP assisted 210,600 beneficiaries with 640 tons of food through School Feeding, Food-for-Work, assistance to TB patients and their families, reintegration of demobilized child soldiers, literacy and vocational training programmes. In addition, at least 66,250 school-aged children were dewormed in the urban areas of the Central Region. (2) Occupied Palestinian Territories (a) During the reporting period (1-31 May), the internal security situation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip continued to deteriorate. This month saw the paramilitary forces of Hamas on the streets of Gaza clashing with Presidential security forces. WFP is concerned over being caught in cross-fire between rival factions. (b) Access to beneficiaries is becoming an increasing concern in light of the deteriorating security environment. WFP noted an improvement in access to Gaza with longer opening of Karni coupled with opening of complimentary crossing points. UN National Staff remain currently unable to cross through Erez crossing owing to security procedures still under discussion; UN national staff in the West Bank also faced increased access restrictions. There were 2 days this month where UN national staff from the West Bank were unable to get to work in Jerusalem owing to tight closures. (c) In response to the deteriorating food security situation WFP plans to implement the planned 25 percent caseload increase as of July 2006. A budget revision is being submitted accordingly. (d) There are increasing signs in the field that the situation is becoming critical; the pressure at the distribution points (West Bank and Gaza Strip) is increasing markedly, non beneficiaries are in some cases resorting to violent means as they are so desperate for food. (e) The PNA proposal to pay some salaries of lower paid employees has been met with violence on the streets of Gaza from security forces furious after months of non payment. The Temporary Intermediary Mechanism for PNA financial support is still being discussed and looks unlikely to be implemented until July at the earliest. (f) The fourth cycle of distributions started in all West bank governorates. Almost 6,000 registered Social Hardship Case (SHC) received a total of 1,000 tons of mixed WFP 2 Emergency Report 2006-22 food commodities. (g) Distributions are ongoing throughout the West Bank.

While in Beit Awwa village, western side of the Hebron area, the beneficiaries constructed four classrooms at the local school, Meanwhile, the establishment of a garden for the children in Bei Ummar, northern Hebron governorate, was the main project implemented by the beneficiaries. The work at the garden included establishing retaining walls, planting trees and installing pinches.

The Third distribution cycle for the Kindergarten registered with Near East Foundation (NEF) still going on during the reporting period. The total number of 2,047 benefited from the project attending 31 kindergartens. (l) An Emergency Food Security Needs review was conducted; document is still in draft form.

    Burundi Page 1 of 17 Burundi Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2007 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 11, 2008 Burundi is a constitutional republic with an elected government and a population of 8.3 million. In August 2005, following local and parliamentary elections, the country's two houses of parliament indirectly elected as President, Pierre Nkurunzia, a member of the National Council for the Defense of Democracy–Forces for the Defense of Democracy (CNDD-FDD) political party. International observers reported that the elections, which ended a four-year transitional process under the Arusha Peace and Reconciliation Agreement, were generally free and fair. Although the CNDD-FDD party dominated parliament and the government, other major parties, notably the Burundian Front for Democracy (FRODEBU) and the Union for National Progress (UPRONA), were also represented. In September 2006 the government concluded a cease-fire agreement with the Party for the Liberation of the Hutu National Liberation Front (PALIPEHUTU-FNL or FNL), with which it had been engaged in hostilities since 1994, and began demobilizing an estimated 3,000 former FNL combatants. The government continued to integrate members of former rebel groups, including the CNDD-FDD, into the National Defense Forces (FDN). From 2004 to December 2007 the government demobilized more than 24,400 former combatants that included members of the regular army, some former rebels, and more than 3,000 child soldiers. Both sides generally adhered to the cease-fire agreement with the exception of a December 28 incident, in which the FNL attacked three military positions in Bubanza, resulting in several injuries and one death among government soldiers.

In February 2005, 90 percent of citizens voted by referendum to adopt a new constitution. Following local and parliamentary elections in June and July 2005, the country's two houses of parliament indirectly elected as president Pierre Nkurunziza, a member of the National Council for the Defense of Democracy-Forces for the Defense of Democracy (CNDD-FDD) political party, in August 2005.

Although the CNDD-FDD party dominated parliament and government, other major parties, notably the Burundian Front for Democracy (FRODEBU) and the Union for National Progress (UPRONA), were also represented. While civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security services, there were several instances in which elements of the security forces acted independently of government authority. Throughout much of the year, the country remained engaged in an armed conflict between the government and the Party for the Liberation of the Hutu People/National Liberation Front (PALIPEHUTU-FNL), led by Agathon Rwasa. Although the security situation remained calm in most of the country, fighting continued in Bujumbura Rural Province, which surrounds the capital and was the traditional stronghold of the PALIPEHUTU-FNL. During the year fighting between the National Defense Forces (FDN) and the PALIPEHUTU-FNL also occurred in the neighboring provinces of Bubanza, Kayanza, Muramvya, and Cibitoke.
