The UN's World Food Programme is facing an unprecedented crisis as it experiences a 40 percent drop in funding this year, risking life-saving aid for 58 million people. The severity of these cuts, combined with record levels of people in need, have led to an alarming situation for those reliant on food aid. The WFP is prioritizing countries with the greatest needs and stretching food rations, but it is still facing a funding cliff with life-threatening consequences.
