The World Food Programme will extend its school feeding programs in Haiti through the summer months because of the country's huge needs related to a global food crisis, its executive director said on Tuesday. Josette Sheeran said the commodity price shock that has made staple foods increasingly unaffordable in poor countries meant the United Nations agency's budget, already increased, would have to rise further this year. "The solution (to hunger) is stabilizing situations so that the hungry can grow their food and meet their food needs" Sheeran said.
