How does WFP decide who to cut?

When faced with funding shortages, the World Food Programme must make difficult choices about who receives aid. As the story highlights, they prioritise the most vulnerable groups: the sick, mothers, and children. This strategic decision ensures that the limited resources go to those most at risk, rather than cutting aid across the board for all recipients.
