Global hunger crisis deepens as major nations skimp on aid
71% Informative
The United Nations says it will be able to raise enough money to help about 60% of the 307 million people it predicts will need aid next year .
The U.N. also will end 2024 having raised about 46% of $49.6 billion it sought for humanitarian aid.
The shortfall has forced humanitarian agencies to make agonizing decisions, such as slashing rations for the hungry and cutting the number of people eligible for aid.
The aid cuts Trump sought in his first term didn’t pass Congress , which controls such spending.
Donors are frustrated with major countries they view as not doing their share to help.
China and India each invested far more in the type of initiatives that draw world attention.
More than 99% of U.S. donations to the World Food Program carried restrictions in each of the last 10 years .
Some current and former officials with donor organizations defend restrictions.
They point to theft and corruption that have plagued the global food aid system.
The U.N. has a “ zero tolerance policy” toward “interferences” that disrupt aid, a spokesperson says.
