AMMAN — The World Food Programme (WFP) said on Tuesday that its financial status this year is better than previous years, thanks to the response of donors in the London conference, especially Germany, which donated $623 million.

Shaza Moghraby, the WFP spokesperson in Jordan, told the Jordan News Agency, Petra, that donations would enable the programme to continue assisting Syrian refugees until the end of 2016, noting that the WFP provides food to some 525,000 Syrians living inside and outside camps in Jordan.

As for the “ShareTheMeal” smartphone application, the spokesperson told Petra that since the launch of the English version of the application last year, more than 500,000 people donated 5.6 million meals for the most vulnerable and hungry people around the world.
