12PM Press Release

1200: The need for food is a continuing problem, and is still exacerbating tensions in the IDP camp as citizens suspect that existing supplies are being distributed inequitably.  It appears that rebel groups have control of the largest food stores.  The Crisis Mapping Team has identified usable access routes and distribution points for food supplies.  Representatives from our team are available to advise any organization with supplies; contact maha.mian@tufts.edu.  Citizen reports also indicate that there is distrust of UN and other NGO workers. The UN had established a Work for Food program, but due to demand is having difficulty providing workers with compensation. Citizens can continue to text requests for aid to +16176826346 or post them to http://comootros.crowdmap.com/  All requests should include specific location of need.
