Makhlouf sought clarification on the recent WFP announcement, which was made without prior coordination with the Syrian government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The minister stated that the decision \u201cshows a deviation in the course of the program towards politicization of the humanitarian aid programs provided to the Syrian people, and thus its joining the parties working to exert pressure on the Syrian people,\u201d said state-run SANA News Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Syrian people rely on the assistance provided by the WFP amid the dire economic and living conditions suffered in the country, Makhlouf stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The minister hoped, added SANA, \u201cThe WFP would review its decision on food assistance and come up with a more objective and humane approach to maintaining the continued provision of assistance to the greatest number of people in need through efforts and solutions to address this reduction, which has a negative impact on Syrians.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Ahmad Othman<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Syrian
