Syrian Government to Allow International Food Aid
The World Food Program will work with dozens of Syrian organizations
GENEVA — The World Food Program says the Syrian government has agreed to let the agency work with dozens of Syrian organizations to distribute food aid throughout the war-torn country.
The World Food Program currently provides food aid to 1.5 million needy people inside Syria. WFP Executive Director Ertharin Cousin says the agency has not been able to expand its operation because only the Syrian Arab Red Crescent has been authorized to distribute food.
