UN Food Aid Cuts to Leave Over 1 Million in Myanmar Without Support

The United Nations World Food Program announced that over 1 million people in Myanmar will lose food assistance due to funding shortfalls starting in April, amid ongoing conflict.
The WFP stated that 15.2 million people, about one-third of Myanmar's population, cannot meet their daily food needs.
The cuts will affect nearly 100,000 internally displaced people, including Rohingya communities in Rakhine State, who will lose access to food aid.
