The blue kit contained a pair of nylon threads, two bars of soap and two jerry cans among other items.
Mr Saru said the Program is discussing with the WFP to supply food for the returnees and other people under threat of hunger in other parts of the state.
Mary Matiya said she arrived in Yambio at the end of March and she received some food including sorghum, cooking oil and beans.
She said the food was not enough and she does not have relatives in town who can give her support in addition to what the NGOs are distributing.
