An official says the U.N.'s World Food Program is delivering emergency food rations to 265,000 people in Sierra Leone's capital to help fight the spread of Ebola, AP reported.
WFP's Alexis Masciarelli told the Associated Press Saturday that food supplies are being distributed in the Waterloo district on the outskirts of Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown.
Waterloo has seen some of the highest cases of Ebola infections and the deliveries are to help quarantined families by providing them enough to eat so they do not leave their homes to look for food.
WFP mobilized 700 aid workers to distribute more than 800 metric tons of food †rice and super cereal †to meet families' food needs for 30 days.
