GENEVA (AP) — The United Nations’ food aid agency said Wednesday that severe funding cuts from its top donors are hurting its operations in six countries and warned that nearly 14 million people could be forced into emergency levels of hunger.
The World Food Program, traditionally the U.N.'s most-funded agency, said in a new report that its funding this year “has never been more challenged” — largely due to slashed outlays from the U.S. under the Trump administration and other leading Western donors.
It warned that that 13.7 million of its food aid recipients could be forced into emergency levels of hunger as funding is cut. The countries facing “major disruptions” are Afghanistan, Congo, Haiti, Somalia, South Sudan and Sudan, it said.
“We are watching the lifeline for millions of people disintegrate before our eyes,” Executive Director Cindy McCain said.
WFP says it has received about $1.5 billion from the United States this year, down from nearly $4.5 billion last year, while other top donors have also cut funding.
Many United Nations organizations, including the migration, health and refugee agencies, have announced sharp aid and staffing cuts this year because of reduced support from traditional big donors. The humanitarian aid community has also been affected by sharp cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID.

Cry me a river. Your free money you squander has dried up.
“donors” don’t donate at the business end of a gun. The US government has no right to donate our tax dollars to the UN.
Rich people in poor countries are worried about disruption in their income stream!
Stand back and let Darwin do his thing.
BERAUCRATS in the UN and Democrats are worried about the disruption in their income stream!
“Many United Nations organizations, including the migration, health and refugee agencies, have announced sharp aid and staffing cuts this year because of reduced support from traditional big donors”
These are the UN people who recruited, organized and trafficked millions of the 12+ million fraudulent “refugees” who invaded our borders under Biden and who are still doing the same to Europe and Scandinavia.
“The humanitarian aid community has also been affected by sharp cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID.”
That one speaks for itself - think UNRWA in Gaza.
The corrupt elite middleman are getting nervous about their grift drying up. There are dozens of 1st world, developed economic countries that can start sending a larger share. Additionally get the UN completely out of the distribution of food. As corrupt and as efficient as the California DMV.

“Afghanistan, Congo, Haiti, Somalia, South Sudan and Sudan”
Those are all cannibal countries. When the UN says lack of funding could push millions more into hunger, they really mean that those countries are running out of White people for the cannibals to eat.
UN accountable bureaucrats & propagandists.
Yeah, let’s start with an audit of all the money going into this food program and what happens thereafter…
Most of these countries are sh**holes involved in harassing their own population and subjugating them to their bizarre fascist demands.
If the people there want to stop starving and being murdered in various ways, they need to overthrow their worthless overlords. While it would take a great price to do so...remember what our Forefathers did to create our society with it’s freedoms. So many suffered and died for our freedoms. Never forget the necessity of a forever war on those who want to shut-down your freedoms.
Whoa, back up…CINDY MCCAIN?
The unfit will starve.
The problem is not that the fit don’t provide food.
The problem is that the unfit are unfit.
The fit survive
We’ve taken in millions of refuges from these countries and are spending heap big money on them. We’ve done our part.

Funny thing, I’ve never seen a hungry person in America. They all fat and buying cartloads of crap on my Taxpayer’s money with their EBT cards.
BS - Hunt a MONKEY
WEF wants DEPOPULATION - Here ya go - It’s a start - First though start w the WEF and their MEMBERS
