    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. #usaidcuts #usaidcutsafrica Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetoafrica Website: https://www.bbc.com/africa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bbcnewsafrica/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/bbcafrica/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bbcafrica/
