From Wikipedia:
> WFP operations are funded by voluntary donations principally from governments of the world, and also from corporations and private donors.[15] In 2019, funding was a record US$8 billion, of which the largest donors were the United States ($3.4 billion) and Germany ($886.6 million). Contributions were insufficient to cover identified needs of food-insecure populations, with a funding gap of US$4.1 billion.

If the WFP can't solve the problem with $8B and the need continues to be so dire, it seems unlikely that another $6B will be enough.
It's almost as if there are factors beyond lack of food at work here.
