US aid cuts in Africa: 'The food we have won't last a month' - BBC Africa
Hundreds of thousands of people are "slowly starving" in Kenyan refugee camps after US funding cuts reduced food rations to their lowest ever levels. The US had provided around 70% of the funding for the WFP's operations in Kenya. The WFP says that because of the cuts, the agency has had to slash the refugees' rations to 30% of the minimum recommended amount a person should eat to stay healthy. Mukuniwa Bililo Mami, a mother of two from the DRC, told the BBC of how she is struggling to survive.
