The United Nations (UN) World Food Program (WFP) is having trouble meeting the escalating hunger needs of West Africans, millions of whom are currently suffering through the worst Ebola outbreak in history. And as the disease continues to spread, the threat of food shortages, and possibly a worldwide famine, is steadily increasing, says the global body.

The WFP says its goal is to reach 1.3 million people in the hardest hit areas of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, the collective epicenter of the outbreak. At this point, it has only provided food aid to some 534,000 individuals, leaving more than 750,000 others in the cold. By the end of October, however, the WFP hopes to help close this gap by reaching 600,000 to 700,000 people.

“The world is mobilizing and we need to reach the smallest villages in the most remote locations,” stated Denise Brown, WFP’s regional director for West Africa, in a recent statement. “Indications are that things will get worse before they improve. How much worse depends on us all.”
