GENEVA (AP) - The U.N. refugee and food agencies' chiefs said Wednesday that international donors are not doing enough to help alleviate shortages of survival rations in refugee camps across Africa.
Because of a lack of funds, the World Food Program has been forced to cut rations for hundreds of thousands of refugees, particularly in West Africa and the Great Lakes region in the east of the continent.
"Refugees in camps and remote settlements are extremely vulnerable to hunger and malnutrition. They rely upon the generosity of their hosts and the international community for the most basic food and other items," said WFP head James Morris.
