Guatemala's rising need has put enormous strain on WFP's food stocks in the country, which have fallen to their lowest level in years. No food distributions have taken place since the end of January 2010. The situation in the extended 'dry corridor' is getting worse.
In order to survive until the September harvest, the Ramos family and thousands of others like them are in dire need of additional assistance.
The World Food Programme is appealing to the international community for a contribution of US$14 million for life-saving operations to provide food assistance to 47,000 families for a six month period.
