Who funds the World Food Programme?
The World Food Programme (WFP), a United Nations agency, depends entirely on voluntary donations from governments, corporations, and individuals. Unlike some other UN bodies, it doesn't receive mandatory contributions from member states. This means its funding can fluctuate significantly, directly impacting its ability to provide aid, as seen in the Gaza situation.
