Emergency Program References
 P.L. 480 Title II food aid is the primary
resource of the United States for responding expeditiously to the critical food
needs of targeted vulnerable groups. Food for Peace (FFP) seeks to ensure that
appropriate Title II emergency food aid is provided to the right people in the
right places at the right time and in the right way. Vulnerable groups receiving
food aid are those who, because of natural or man-made disasters and/or prolonged
civil strife, require food a assistance to survive the emergency and begin the
process of recovery. Categories of beneficiaries include internally displaced
persons, refugees, newly resettled or new returnees, and vulnerable resident
populations. Programming assistance most often attempts to target specific
categories of beneficiaries including children less than five years of age,
pregnant and nursing women, malnourished children and adults, and the elderly.
