This is according to a World Food Programme (WFP) official this Tuesday, warning of rising malnutrition levels.<\/p>\n
“Unless new funding is secured, all refugees will face assistance cuts in the coming months,” said Shaun Hughes, the WFP\u2019s Emergency Coordinator for the Sudan Regional Crisis, referring to over four million refugees who have fled Sudan’s civil war.<\/p>\n
“In the case of four countries – that’s the Central African Republic, Egypt, Ethiopia and Libya – WFP’s operations are now so severely underfunded, that all support will cease in the coming months as resources run dry,” he said, clarifying later that this could happen within two months.<\/p>\n
