IDLIB — The World Food Program (WFP) has reduced the contents of food baskets provided to the needy in all Syrian areas, most notably in the northwest.

The Syrian Response Coordination Group (RCG), an Idlib-based humanitarian NGO assisting the displaced, said in a statement on Sept. 7 that the new reduction makes it less adequate for daily nutrition.
