NAIROBI, Oct 3 (Reuters) - The United Nations World Food Programme said on Friday it will slash the number of people it supports with emergency food aid in Somalia by two-thirds to just 350,000 next month, down from 1.1 million in August, because of a funding shortfall.
The decision means that the agency will only be able to support one in 10 people who are in need of food assistance for survival, it said in a statement.
Somalia could be in a famine by Jan if this funding shortfall persists. Deeply worrying.
