UN agency forced to halt food aid for 650,000 women, children in Ethiopia

The World Food Programme said Tuesday that it was suspending aid for 650,000 malnourished women and children in Ethiopia because of a lack of funding. "WFP is being forced to halt treatment for 650,000 malnourished women and children in May due to insufficient funding," it said in a statement. It comes as several Western countries have also reduced aid spending.
