The United Nations is warning that food shortages are growing in Syria as a result of rising prices and mounting attacks on U.N. vehicles delivering vital supplies. The U.N. World Food Program is currently feeding some 1.5 million people in Syria, the vast majority displaced from their homes. The news comes one day after the United Nations and European Union announced they are cutting back operations and removing staffers from the capital Damascus. Among the victims of the latest violence in Syria Tuesday were nine students and a teacher killed when their school was bombed in a suburb of Damascus. Government forces have blamed rebels for the attack.
