That revelation followed on the heels of a sharp debate on aid in Somalia between the U.N. and the U.S., which has announced it will restrict some supplies to the country out of fear it's helping the rebels. "Operating in conflict zones is always a complex challenge for humanitarian organizations," WFP's Nairobi spokesman, Marcus Prior, tells TIME.
