Humanitarian disaster: Syrian refugees could go hungry in UN 'funding crisis'

A Syrian refugee wraps herself in a blanket as she stands near tents in the Suruc district near Sanliurfa, Turkey, on Thursday, October 2. As many as 200,000 people have left the area surrounding the Syrian city of Kobani, also known as Ayn al-Arab, because of the militant group ISIS, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said in September.

(CNN) -- More than 1.7 million Syrian refugees will face a food shortage due to a 'funding crisis,' the United Nations World Food Program said Monday.

The WFP had to suspend its program providing food vouchers, which refugees use in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, and Egypt, the agency said.

The program needs $64 million 'immediately,' it said, adding that the repercussions of suspending the vouchers 'will be disastrous.'
