Kenya: Inadequate funding forces WFP to cut refugee rations

The United Nations food agency says it has been forced to reduce food aid rations to some 230,000 Somali and Sudanese refugees living in two camps in remote areas of eastern and northeastern Kenya as a result of insufficient funding. The ration cuts for refugees in Dadaab and Kakuma refugee camps come as WFP struggles to raise US $170 million for its operation to feed 3.5 million Kenyans affected by severe drought.
