World’s largest food program faces funding shortage

The largest food program in the world, the U.N. World Food Program (WFP), is facing a severe funding shortage. Factors such as COVID-19, climate change, conflict, and declining public support for foreign aid have contributed to this crisis. Significant cuts have already been made in crisis-ridden areas, and Afghanistan may lose vital aid. The consequences of food insecurity are dire, especially for women and children. Increased global attention and support are urgently needed to prevent famine and starvation.
