Explanation
"Conflict in Syria has forced millions of people to flee their homes, creating a humanitarian crisis in which food is a top priority. WFP aims to bring food assistance to up to 6.5 million Syrians between now and the end of the year. These include 4 million people inside Syria - on both sides of the front lines – and 2.5 million refugees in neighbouring countries."
