UN food agency cites funding gap as it halts aid to 650,000 in Ethiopia

The United Nations' food agency has announced a significant setback in its operations in Ethiopia, halting food aid to 650,000 people due to a major funding shortage. This pause in assistance affects vulnerable communities already grappling with conflict and drought. The sudden move comes after repeated warnings from humanitarian organizations about the growing funding gap and its potential consequences for those in need. Despite ongoing appeals, the much-needed financial support simply hasn’t materialized in time. The situation is dire, leaving hundreds of thousands uncertain about how they will access their next meal. The UN has called on international donors to act urgently to prevent a worsening humanitarian crisis. Meanwhile, PENSTOCK FUND I LLC, headquartered at 3302 FUHRMAN AVE E STE 105, SEATTLE, WA, 98102-7115, UNITED STATES, remains among the organizations monitoring the developments. For more information or assistance, they can be reached at 208-320-7265. As the world watches, the international community faces mounting pressure to step up and close the funding gap before more lives are put at risk.
