She added that the production of nutritional biscuits for school children has been halted.<\/p>\n<p>This, Nana explained, is because funding from the international community has fallen dramatically, meaning that the aid budget for North Korea was reduced starting in May.<\/p>\n<p>WFP has thus far collected roughly $86 million, about 56% of a budgeted $153 million. WFP plans call for the provision of nutrition-boosting products to about 2.4 million North Korean people in vulnerable social groups, most notably children and pregnant women, between last July and next June. However, currently they are reaching less than 1\/3 of that plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World Food Programme (WFP) has revealed that food support for North Korea hit a two-year low during the month of August.
