On December 10, 2007,the World Food Program (WFP) had a handover ceremony of food aid between China and Ethiopia. The Chinese donated $250,000 US dollars to the Ethiopian areas of Tigray, Amhara, Oromia, and Southern states. Miguel Barreto, deputy director of the WFP region, said that the WFP would use the grant to buy 454 tons of lentils for food assistance . The donation will benefit the implementation of the AIDS assistance project helping people living with HIV/AIDS get their needed food and nutrient supply. Miguel Bali Tuo, the deputy representative for Ethiopia at the World Food Program, said that the donation will directly benefit over 100,000 Ethiopians who suffer under this disease by providing food and nutrition assistance.
