And the road network is not always the best.

This is compounded by the fact that we have insecurity in the country at the moment.

“我们已经收到在几个区域内遭受洗劫的报告,包括我们的仓库和一些办公室,尤其是当我们听说是发生在博尔和本提乌。
But it has been difficult to assess the damage or the losses in most places because of insecurity.
但因为不安全问题已经很难评估大多数地方的损害或损失程度。
So far we have confirmed the loss of more than 3,000 metric tons of food.
到目前为止,我们已经证实的损失超过3000吨食物。
That's about 10-percent of what we had in country and that's roughly enough food to feed about 180,000 people for a month,” he said.
