The World Food Programme announced on Tuesday the suspension of aid for 650,000 malnourished women and children in Ethiopia due to inadequate funding. The decision to halt treatment for this vulnerable population in May was made as a result of funding shortages, the organization stated. This comes at a time when various Western nations have cut back on aid spending. The World Food Programme’s move underscores the urgent need for increased support to address the growing hunger crisis in Ethiopia. The suspension of aid for malnourished individuals highlights the precarious situation faced by many vulnerable populations in the country. The impact of this funding shortfall could have devastating consequences for those who rely on this assistance for their basic nutritional needs. The international community is urged to step up and provide the necessary resources to prevent further suffering and ensure the well-being of those affected by food insecurity in Ethiopia.
