The World Food Programme is encouraging individuals to donate online with their 
credit cards to help it combat hunger.
The development, which includes a new “Support
WFP” section on the organisation’s Web site, follows increased offers of support
over the past few years from companies and individuals.

WFP says that it receives no dues or UN assessed contributions.
