Syrian refugees in Turkey can now use e-cards to purchase food.
Full Story:
The United Nations World Food Program, or WFP, is working in partnership with the Turkish Red Crescent to provide food for Syrian refugees in Turkey.
Electronic cards, or e-cards, are being distributed to some 25,000 Syrians in the Kilis and Hatay refugee camps.
The e-cards can be used at supermarkets, and are loaded with 45 U.S. dollars.
This is considered adequate to provide basic food needs for the card holder for one month.
The scheme also benefits the local economy, and will be expanded to help more refugees.
