History will not be kind on this:

The UN is cutting in half its daily rations in Sudan's Darfur region due to a severe funding shortfall. [...] From May the ration will be half the minimum amount required each day. The cut comes as the UN said Darfur's malnutrition rates are rising again. [...] The bill to feed them all is $746m. The United States has provided $188m, but little has been received from the European Union and nothing at all from any of Sudan's partners in the Arab League, other than Libya, the WFP says.
