Food assistance is being cut in half due to a funding shortfall, affecting the most vulnerable people. The World Food Programme's assistance will be scaled back to 200,000 people, from 400,000 previously. A quarterly food security analysis found a significant decline in income for many households, with high food and fuel prices forcing families to sell assets and reduce meals.

Many families are struggling to afford a nutritious diet due to the deteriorating economy. People in rural areas and certain governorates are among the most affected. Further details on the situation and the impact of the funding shortfall are available from the source.
