Global Humanitarian Aid in Crisis: Funding Shortfalls and Rising Hunger
The United Nations warns that as global hunger increases, funding for humanitarian aid is decreasing, leaving millions without assistance. In 2025, the UN projects it will only reach 60% of those in need. Countries like Germany and the USA, major donors, are cutting aid amidst financial pressures and political shifts. The situation is dire, with nearly 282 million people facing acute food insecurity. Former US President Donald Trump’s approach to aid and emerging trends among other nations like China and India further complicate the crisis.
