Famine: the World Food Program sounds the alarm


Forced to drastically reduce rations in most of its operations due to the collapse in international funding for humanitarian aid, the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) has issued a stark warning for global food security. He estimates that every 1% reduction in food aid risks pushing more than 400,000 people to the brink of famine. As a result, an additional 24 million people could face famine over the next 12 months, an increase of 50% from the current situation.
