The decision by the United Nations to slash rations for nearly 1 million Rohingya camp residents in what is known as the world’s largest refugee settlement in Bangladesh can have “serious and far-reaching consequences”, according to a prominent Rohingya campaigner.

A World Food Program (WFP) official says malnutrition rates in Afghanistan are at record highs as half of the population struggles with severe hunger amid the deteriorating economic situation fueled by Western sanctions. 

A new UN report says surging global food insecurity has placed 750,000 people in five countries -- including Yemen and Afghanistan -- at immediate risk of “starvation or death.”

Yemen calls for the dissolution of the Arab League over its “shameful” stances and its replacement with another organization that lives up to Arab aspirations.

The World Food Program says it will reduce the food rations of eight million Yemenis as it is suffering from a shortage of funds.

World Food Program has estimated the cost of preventing global starvation at around seven billion US dollars, warning that the traditional funding streams were overstretched.

The United Nations (UN) warns of a looming humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan as supplies of food aid deplete in the war-torn country.
