What happened
The World Food Programme announced a JPY 300 million contribution, approximately $1.8 million, from Japan for operations in the Republic of Congo. WFP says it plans meals for 57,000 students and food assistance for 25,000 refugees and asylum seekers. These are intended beneficiaries, not a confirmed delivery count.
Why it matters
School meals can support attendance and nutrition, while food aid helps displaced families meet immediate needs.
What to watch
WFP distribution reports will show when and how many people receive support.
