GENEVA, Sept 12 — The World Food Programme said today that shrinking funding was forcing it to drastically slash rations in many operations, warning that 24 million more people risked being pushed to the brink of starvation.
This could have dire consequences, with WFP experts estimating that for every one per cent cut in food assistance, more than 400,000 people risk falling into emergency levels of hunger. “WFP’s food assistance is a vital lifeline, often the only thing separating them from starvation,” it said. And in July, 45 per cent of aid recipients in Syria and a quarter of those on WFP’s rolls in Haiti were cut from assistance.
