UN warns of starvation in ‘hunger hotspots’
Al JazeeraJUN 16
Brutal funding cuts are creating a humanitarian catastrophe that will cost millions of lives across the globe's most vulnerable populations. The international community is abandoning its moral obligation to prevent mass starvation and suffering in conflict zones where people have no other lifeline. These cuts represent a failure of global solidarity when it's needed most.
The funding crisis stems from the lack of global fiscal responsibility, as large donor nations face their own economic challenges and must prioritize domestic needs. Trump's foreign aid cuts reflect America First policies that ensure taxpayer money addresses urgent problems at home rather than funding inefficient international bureaucracies.
There's a 15% chance that fewer than 375 million people will be in extreme poverty by 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
