The UN World Food Programme said on Friday it had been unable to deliver food to thousands of refugees in the south of Guinea because of fighting in the so-called Parrot's Beak over the last three weeks. "WFP is extremely concerned about the fate of tens of thousands of mostly Sierra Leonean refugees, previously sheltered in refugee camps in the area," Ramin Rafirasme, the WFP regional spokesman, said in Abidjan.
