The United States has announced an additional $68 million contribution to the World Food Programme.

In a press statement the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says through USAID’s continued partnership with the WFP, the funds will support the procurement, transport, and storage of up to 150,000 metric tons of Ukrainian wheat to address acute food insecurity.

He says this sum represents the latest in more than $5.4 billion in humanitarian contributions from the United States this fiscal year.

Blinken adds that the purchase of 150,000 metric tons of wheat builds on an initial WFP shipment of 23,000 metric tons of Ukrainian wheat and will support the humanitarian response in the Horn of Africa, where a historic drought is pushing millions of people to the brink of starvation.
