UN agency faces food shortages

The United Nations food agency says its facing critical funding shortages that have forced it to cut aid deliveries to millions of people facing starvation.



The World Food Programme says it may have to close parts of its airway, used to fly aid workers to humanitarian trouble-spots.



Deliveries have already been suspended to north Uganda, Ivory Coast and Niger.



The organisation has issued similar warnings in the past when facing funding shortages.
