The administration of US President Donald Trump has halted funding for emergency programs under the World Food Program in 14 countries, including Syria, endangering the lives of millions in need of assistance. The decision affects conflict-ridden countries like Syria, Yemen, and Afghanistan, as well as 11 other impoverished nations. These programs used to secure food for millions in critical humanitarian situations around the world. The World Food Program warned that suspending US food aid to Syria could be a death sentence for millions already facing severe hunger in the country. The deputy to the UN envoy to Syria stated that nearly 1.5 million Syrians are at risk of losing essential food aid.
