Food assistance provided by the World Food Programme is being cut in half due to a funding shortfall. Previously, 400,000 vulnerable people were receiving aid, but this number will be reduced to 200,000. A recent food security analysis found that many households have experienced a significant decline in income, with 76 percent affected.

Food and fuel prices are extremely high, leading families to sell assets and reduce their meals. The analysis also revealed poor food consumption and limited access to nutritious diets. Certain areas are more affected than others, including rural areas and southern governorates.

Further details on the situation and the World Food Programme's response are available from the source.
