World Food Program Says Food Assistance for Afghans Running out
News - World: The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) has announced that it lacks the funds to provide food assistance to millions of hungry people in cash-strapped Afghanistan.
WFP Director for Afghanistan Hsiao-Wei Lee told the Reuters news agency on Friday that food assistance to Afghanistan will shrink to nothing by the end of October under their current funding projections.
"It's five million people we are able to serve for another couple of months but then beyond that we don't have the resources," the WFP director told Reuters. "That I think conveys the urgency of where we stand."
The WFP estimates based on donor countries' promised contributions so far, indicate that food reductions would start in August and drop further in September until the funds finish and Wthe UN agency's food assistance stops completely in October.
