WFP: World Food Aid at 20-Year Low
----------------------------------



The UN’s global relief agency is warning food aid has fallen to a
twenty-year low despite the number of critically hungry reaching its
highest level ever. The World Food Program says it’s facing a more than
$4 billion shortfall for its $6.7 billion budget. The number of hungry
people is expected to pass one billion this year for the first time.
