The UN food aid agency, which has been hit hard by steep European and US funding cuts, on Wednesday welcomed an $800 million (€695 million) contribution from the United States.
The World Food Programme in a statement said the funds would support "life-saving food and nutrition operations to reach more than 38 million of the most vulnerable across at least 37 countries."
The Rome-based WFP said earlier this month it was facing a deep shortfall in its funding at a time of acute need.
