The full lethal impact of massive cuts to international food aid
The sudden withdrawal of almost half of global funding for nutrition suddenly will have dire consequences for decades
Aid cuts threaten to reverse decades of progress in combating malnutrition, putting hundreds of thousands of starving children at risk of death. The withdrawal of nearly half of global funding for nutrition programs will have dire consequences for public health, economic growth, and societal stability, with an estimated 369,000 additional child deaths per year. Urgent action is needed to restore funding and prioritize life-saving nutrition interventions to prevent a catastrophic increase in child mortality and long-term societal damage.
