 EL WAK, Kenya (AP) - The U.N. food agency will soon run out of food needed to feed some 3.5 million Kenyans facing prolonged drought because it has received a fraction of the required funding, officials said Saturday.
The World Food Program has enough cereal to last until April but will run out of other staples by month's end, program spokesman Peter Smerdon said.
The program needs $225 million to buy more than 33,000 tons of food each month until February 2007 but has received only $28 million, he said.
