GENEVA - The U.N. food agency says 90,000 people who have fled ethnic violence in Myanmar are in need of aid.

The World Food Program says it has distributed emergency food supplies to 66,000 people in the past week and is now moving additional stocks to the western Rakhine state.

WFP spokeswoman Elisabeth Byrs told reporters in Geneva on Tuesday that the agency is planning a three-month operation in the area.
