“Italy has immediately wanted to make a contribution to face the serious humanitarian crisis caused by the recent floods in Sri Lanka,” said the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Angelino Alfano, in announcing the multilateral emergency funding allocated today to the World Food Program by Italian Cooperation.
“The 200,000 euros – added Minister Alfano – will be used to distribute food rations to the civilian population in the Country’s monsoon-struck centre-southern provinces.”
“It is Italy’s tangible sign of solidarity and attention for the Government and people of Sri Lanka,” concluded Mr Alfano.
