The United Nations is warning Libya could run out of food within six to eight weeks. World Food Programme Executive Director Josette Sheeran said the food supply is especially threatened in the rebel-held east.

Josette Sheeran: '’For the World Food Programme right now, we're reaching about half a million people in Libya who are already hit and don’t have adequate access to food, but we’re very worried that we could see a breakdown in the whole system in the coming weeks.’’
