ADEN (Reuters) - The World Food Programme said it has further reduced rations in Yemen, where millions face hunger, due to critical funding gaps, global inflation and knock-on effects of the Ukraine conflict.

The United Nations body feeds 13 million people a month in Yemen, where the economy has been wrecked by seven years of war. The country of some 30 million people imports most of its food.
