Liberia: Returning refugees will starve unless donors provide more food, WFP says

Refugees returning to Liberia later this year under the auspices of a UN repatriation programme will face starvation unless donors urgently provide more money to feed them, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) has warned. Justin Bagirishya, the head of WFP in Liberia, said chronic shortages in the food supply pipeline had forced him to make a further cut this month in the rations handed out to nearly 740,000 people who already receive food aid.
