More aid to UN food program
China will send another $2 million to the United Nations World Food Program (WFP), in addition to its originally planned $2.5 million donation to the world's largest humanitarian agency in 2008.
The donation, announced by spokesman Qin Gang, aims to help the WFP alleviate "difficulties it is facing now" as a result of soaring food prices and food shortages worldwide.
