WFP says may cut Kenya funding

• In August, WFP appealed for at least US$230 million to provide emergency food assistance in the next six months to 3.8 million Kenyans affected by drought.

• Food aid is at its lowest in 20 years despite indications that those in need of urgent food aid is on the increase.

School meals are an effective social safety net for hard-hit communities, providing vital assistance to hungry children and ensuring they can continue their education. WFP has continued to provide school meals to over a million children in Kenya in August during the holidays, following a request by the government.
