More
than 1.7 million to face hunger in the middle of the winter
“The
United Nations World Food Program (WFP) says it has suspended
providing food vouchers for more than 1.7 million Syrian refugees
due to lack of funds.”
“The UN
agency said in a statement on Monday that it has cut the program
which provides Syrian refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and
Egypt with electronic vouchers to buy food in local shops.”
“'The
suspension of WFP food assistance will be disastrous for many already
suffering families,' said WFP Executive Director Ertharin
Cousin.”
“The
WFP added that it needs 64 million dollars to support the Syrian
refugees in December only.”
