PHNOM PENH — Japan has donated $500,000 for Cambodian students through the World Food Program, the WFP said in a statement Tuesday.

"WFP appreciates Japan's quick response, which will enable us to address the urgent need of hungry Cambodian children, including 76,000 poor students, to eat a hot breakfast and receive an education for one school year in a country where fewer than 50% of enrolled children complete grade six," Thomas Keusters, country director WFP Cambodia, said.
