Over a million in Myanmar face food aid cuts due to funding shortages, worsening an already dire humanitarian crisis.

(Reuters) - The United Nations' World Food Programme (WFP) said on Friday more than a million people in Myanmar will be cut off from its lifesaving food assistance, starting from April, because of critical shortfalls in funding.

Funding shortfalls will require a cut in monthly food vouchers in the camps from $12.50 to $6.00 per person at the camps, the WFP announced this month. The cuts inside Myanmar will come just ahead of the "lean season" between the planting and harvesting of rice, maize and vegetables, which lasts from July to September.

The United Nations' World Food Programme is closing its southern Africa office due to funding cuts from the Trump administration. To optimize operations, it will consolidate the offices into a regional hub in Nairobi.
