The World Food Programme will reduce food rations for 8 million people in war-torn Yemen from January due to a lack of funds
More than 16 million Yemenis, about half the approximately 30-million population, will face hunger this year.
Families on reduced handouts will receive barely half of the WFP's daily minimum ratio. Other food assistance and child malnutrition programmes are at risk of further cuts, the WFP said in a statement on Wednesday. "WFP food stocks in Yemen are running dangerously low," the WFP's Regional Director Corinne Fleischer stated.
"Every time we reduce the amount of food, we know that more people who are already hungry and food insecure will join the ranks of the millions who are starving. But desperate times call for desperate measures."Saudi coalition air strikes halt UN aid to Yemen's SanaaThe UN warned in March of a "death sentence" against Yemen after a donor conference yielded less than half the funds needed to prevent famine.
