WFP has said that a critically slow response to appeals for its emergency operation in Sudan have forced it to cut rations of pulses, sugar and salt for up to 3.5 million people immediately, to help limited stocks last longer. (For greater clarity, please click the WFP photo.)
While supplies of some commodities such as cereals, which form the major part of general food distribution rations, are not yet affected - complete breaks in the supply of others are now imminent.
