United States
US restores food aid
The US has reversed cuts to emergency food aid in several countries, including Somalia, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Ecuador, but has maintained the cuts in Afghanistan and Yemen. The reversal comes after intense lobbying by the United Nations and US officials, who argue that the aid is crucial for millions of vulnerable people. However, the State Department claims that the cuts in Afghanistan and Yemen are necessary to prevent funding from benefiting terrorist groups despite evidence showing that contractors have already paid millions of dollars in taxes and fees to these groups. This event took place on 04/11/2025.
