The World Food Programme (WFP) has announced that it may suspend food aid for 1 million refugees in Ethiopia starting June 2025 due to severe funding cuts. The agency stated that it urgently requires $230 million to continue its operations in the region.
WFP officials highlighted that ongoing conflicts and climate shocks are exacerbating hunger for millions of people in Ethiopia. The potential suspension of aid could significantly impact the lives of those reliant on food assistance.
This warning comes amid increasing challenges faced by humanitarian organizations in delivering aid effectively, as previously reported in related coverage of global humanitarian efforts.
