The UN’s World Food Programme warned on Sunday that refugees in East and West Africa faced smaller food rations due to a surge in demand and insufficient funding.
ROME, Italy – Three-quarters of refugees in East Africa supported by the United Nations’ programme have seen their rations reduced by up to 50 percent, WFP said, with those in Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan and Uganda the worst affected.
It warned of imminent disruptions in Angola, Malawi, Mozambique, Republic of Congo, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. It said more than two-thirds of the population required humanitarian assistance, with 8.3 million people, including refugees, expected to face “severe acute hunger” this year. On Saturday, the EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell accused Russia of choosing to “weaponise” grain exports by blocking grain from Ukraine destined for poor countries.
