WFP slashes food rations
Johannesburg - A lack of funding is forcing the World Food Programme (WFP) to slash its food rations to almost two million people in Angola by half, the aid agency said on Friday.

"WFP's operations in Angola face a severe funding crisis, which has forced the agency to drastically reduce rations," a statement released in Johannesburg said.

"In April and May, WFP will provide 50% rations to ... the vast majority of WFP's 1.9 million beneficiaries."

Without additional funding, the WFP will not be able to provide any cereal, a main food component in its rations, to these beneficiaries in June and July, the agency added.
