Aid workers warn ‘people are dying and they’re going to continue dying’ as funding cuts hit

Moves by US, UK and other donors to cut aid mean high malnutrition rates, starvation and death', say experts

Cuts to food assistance by the US, Britain and others are already leading to more people starving to death around the world, experts have warned.

As the United Nations and other agencies try to understand just how badly President Donald Trump's announced 83% cut in funding to USAid will affect the world's most vulnerable people, the UN's World Food Programme (WFP) has said its aid provision in Somalia is being reduced, after last month's estimate that 4.4 million people in the east African nation will be pushed into malnutrition from April because of drought, global inflation and conflict.
