The UN World Food Programme (WFP) warned on Wednesday that six of its most critical humanitarian operations—including in Afghanistan—are at risk of collapse by the end of the year due to severe funding shortages, potentially leaving millions without lifesaving food assistance.
In a new report titled “A Lifeline at Risk,” WFP said that global funding cuts could push an additional 13.7 million people from crisis (IPC Phase 3) into emergency levels of hunger (IPC Phase 4)—a one-third increase in the number of people already facing critical food insecurity.
“The world is facing a rising tide of acute hunger that threatens millions of the most vulnerable—and the funds needed to help us respond are drying up,” said WFP Executive Director Cindy McCain. “Every ration cut means a child goes to bed hungry, a mother skips a meal, or a family loses the support they need to survive.”
