PHNOM PENH (Khmer Times) – A school meal program run by the World Food Program (WFP) has run out of funds, forcing it to transfer about half of its schools to government care.

“In the 2014-2015 school year, we have 300,000 students that receive sponsorship by the school meal program,” said Kong Kannitha, national program officer, for the United Nations food aid agency.

In 1999, the WFP covered only 62 primary schools and kindergartens in Cambodia, sponsoring school meals for students in rural areas.

Maybe the UN could cut out some of UNRWA's 1,400,000,000 USD budget (for 5 million people the vast majority of which were born and reside in their own country) and spread the wealth around.

So its UN fault, that Combodian school kids have no food now !

Maybee our Gvts have to collect more taxs from us to sponsor UN and Combodia !!

Of cause same for whole Africa and some East europe and Arabic countries !

why not !

We in the west have machines to print the money,

just paper, electric and a little paint are needed !!

This a response to the constricting of NGOs at the government level. It's a cheap form of retaliation.
