Refugees' Survival Under Threat in Kenya as Funding Dries Up
The World Food Programme (WFP) needs U.S.$57 million to continue providing food and nutrition assistance to the country's 435,000-strong refugee population between January and June of next year.

The organisation says that without invigorated funding, it will be forced to completely halt all cash transfers, beginning in January.
