Local authorities in northwestern Syria are not giving the required access to the U.N. food agency, the head of the World Food Programme (WFP) said on Saturday, warning that the agency only had money left for about 60 days in its earthquake response programme.

the northwestern Syrian authorities are not giving us the access we need," WFP Director David Beasley told Reuters on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.Reporting by John Irish; editing by Jason Neely
