UN Criticises US of Delaying Aid
The United Nations (UN) says it is running out of food for millions of starving Somalis in part because the United States is delaying aid amid fears it could be intercepted by militants linked to al-Qaeda.
Starting October, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) says it cut rations by up to half for some people in the lawless, impoverished east African nation and will run out of supplies in December.
WFP spokesperson in Nairobi, Peter Smerdon, points out that, "WFP's food assistance supply line to Somalia is effectively broken. The pipeline break is partly because (the US government) has delayed US assistance to Somalia."
