The United Nations is warning a looming drought and a lack of international funding could worsen the hunger and refugee crisis in Syria. Key areas for harvesting wheat have received less than half the average rainfall since the fall, likely forcing the country to have to import more food. The shortfall could bring the number of Syrians reliant on food aid to 6.5 million, up from 4.2 million. The United Nations also says it has cut the size of food rations this week after receiving just 16 percent of its budget needs from international donors.
