AlHijjah 24, 1435, Oct 18, 2014, SPA -- The U.N.'s World Food Program on Saturday delivered emergency food rations to 265,000 people, many of them quarantined in Sierra Leone, to help fight the spread of Ebola, AP reported. Food supplies are being distributed in the Waterloo district on the outskirts of Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown, WFP's Alexis Masciarelli told the Associated Press. Waterloo, about 20 miles east of Freetown, has seen some of the highest cases of Ebola infections and the deliveries are to help quarantined families by providing them enough to eat so they do not leave their homes to look for food. The deliveries began Friday and are continuing Saturday, said Masciarelli. Waterloo resident Christopher James said he got food for his family at one of the 60 distribution sites. -- SPA 20:24 LOCAL TIME 17:24 GMT تغريد
