More than 20,000 displaced Angolan families have been facing food shortage since January, Angolan news agency Angop reported Tuesday.

The food shortage in Camacupa district, 22 km from the capital of south Angola's Bie province, is attributed to the reduction in humanitarian aid by the World Food Program (WFP).

The news agency quoted local Coordinator of Technical Unity of Humanitarian Aid Felix Jengo as saying that the WFP reduced its assistance to them because of an alleged breach of stock.

It reported that the families also face a shortage of clothes, shoes, fertilizer, seeds, and farming equipment.

Jengo said that his country in partnership with the United Nations has resettled more than one million people, 86,000 of whomwere former rebels of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) and their family members.
