Meanwhile, World Vision, one of the world’s largest humanitarian organizations, has announced that it cannot feed 1.5 million people that it fed last year because of the rising cost of food and the increased need. World Vision said the cutback could affect donations to thirty-five of the 100 countries in which the agency works. World Vision has already been forced to eliminate its food aid programs in East Timor and Sri Lanka, and reductions have been made in aid sent to Burundi, Niger, Cambodia and Sudan.
