The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has a funding shortfall totaling US$197 million for its operations in Syria and urgent support from international donors is required to ensure the deliveries of vital food supplies to vulnerable families in the country, WFP Syria Communications Officer Jessica Lawson told Sputnik. Jessica Lawson also said support from international donors will be vital in allowing the WFP to continue to deliver food to the most vulnerable families in Syria as the needs of the population become greater. Needs across the country are rapidly increasing and additional funds from donors are key to help vulnerable families to access nutritious food. The WFP’s work in Syria continues in close coordination with the country’s government, which is helping to ensure that humanitarian aid is distributed to those in need//sputnik
