The acting head of the World Food Programme says they are experiencing historic drops in funding with a 40% drop year to year, creating a perfect storm with already record levels of hunger around the world, further exacerbated by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The U.N. Agency that provides food assistance in theatres around the world, warned in March that were the conflict in the Middle East to persist, that some 45 million people would fall into acute food insecurity - a situation confirmed to now be playing out in real time including raising the cost of running humanitarian operations that have gone up dramatically in an already precarious context.
