 ❗️WFP halves food aid in Syria amid funding shortfall

The World Food Programme (WFP) said on Wednesday that it has been forced to cut emergency food assistance in Syria by half due to a lack of funding, warning that millions of people remain at risk.

The WFP said in a statement that the number of people receiving emergency food aid in Syria dropped from 1.3 million to 650,000 in May, and that its operations have been reduced across all 14 governorates to just seven.

At the same time, 7.2 million Syrians are still considered severely food insecure, including 1.6 million facing extreme hunger, according to the agency.

“The reduction in WFP’s assistance is driven solely by funding constraints, not by a decrease in needs,” WFP country director in Syria Marianne Ward said in the statement.

The agency also suspended a bread subsidy program that had supported over 300 bakeries with fortified wheat flour.
