UN food agency cites funding gap as it halts aid to 650,000 in Ethiopia
Briefly

The World Food Programme (WFP) has announced it is suspending aid for 650,000 malnourished women and children in Ethiopia due to insufficient funding. The agency highlighted that without new financial support, 3.6 million people are at risk of losing access to food assistance. A predicted funding shortfall of $222 million will severely limit efforts to provide life-saving nutrition assistance and food aid, especially to refugees, amid ongoing violence, instability, and drought in the region after several years of civil conflict.
