UN's World Food Programme forced to cut food aid

The WFP says it's being forced to cut food assistance for vulnerable Syrian refugees in Lebanon and Jordan because of a severe lack of funding.

WFP says it will halve the value of food vouchers in Lebanon in July, and fears it will need to suspend assistance to Syrian refugees living outside camps in Jordan in August, leaving 440,000 people with no food.  WFP is funded entirely by governments, companies and private individuals.
