In northern Angola, thousands of refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo face worsening conditions as food aid dwindles. Families survive on maize flour, beans, and salt for two months — half the rations they once received. With donor funding at record lows, the UN World Food Programme is promoting self-sufficiency with farming land provided by Angola and beekeeping projects. Refugees and locals work together to grow crops and produce honey, hoping to secure a future despite having no jobs and scarce resources.
