Syrian refugees in Lebanon stranded by UN food aid cut
Syrian refugees who had their food aid cut when a U.N. agency ran out of money last week say that without it they will be unable to feed themselves, educate their children or warm their tents in the freezing winter.
Electronic vouchers that allow 1.7 million Syrian refugees in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey to buy food in stores were not topped up for December on Friday because the U.N. World Food Programme said it had run out of money.
Syria's civil war is entering its fourth harsh winter. Donors provided barely more than half the money the United Nations sought this year.
