The World Food Programme (WFP) has approved the allotment of $77 million to support Yemen's efforts to combat poverty and improve the food security program. In a statement to Yemen's news agency "SABA," Deputy Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Hisham Sharf pointed out that the WFP decided to raise the ceiling of its support for Yemen during 2011-2012 to reach $77 million. This support would be dedicated to help the poor who suffer from lack of food security and to enhance the Yemeni government's efforts in the field of humanitarian relief, Sharaf said.
