UN: 1 Million Syrians Need Emergency Food Aid -- Voice of America
The United Nations says about one million Syrians are living without adequate food and serious fuel shortages and rising violence are disrupting aid distribution across the war-torn country.
U.N. World Food Program spokeswoman Elisabeth Byrs said the WFP is distributing rations to about 1.5 million people in Syria every month, the vast majority internally displaced. But she says well below the 2.5 million people in need of assistance.
