Refugees in #Kenya receive less than 1/3 of the food they need due to reduced funding. When funding falls short, refugees are often the first to suffer - unable to work or return home. Food assistance is a vital safety net for #refugees trying to rebuild their lives in safety.

#DYK hundreds of refugees arrive weekly at Kenya’s camps, fleeing conflict and drought in neighbouring countries – often bringing nothing with them? On arrival, World Food Programme serves these families hot meals – but funding shortfalls now threaten this life-saving support.

Poor storage leads to food losses. Ann, from northern Kenya, lacked cold storage for her fish business, causing the fish to spoil. With support from World Food Programme and County Government of Turkana she now uses a solar-powered freezer to keep fish fresh, cut losses and keep her family food secure.
