UN agencies for food, refugees plan deep cuts as funding plummets, documents show
2025-04-26
[Jpost] The UN agencies for food and refugees are planning deep cuts due to unprecedented funding shortfalls, with the former set to reduce its workforce by up to 30%, affected up to 6,000 jobs.

The humanitarian sector has been roiled by funding cuts from major donors, including by former top donor the United States under President Donald Trump, and by other Western countries as they prioritize defense spending.
Call me when salaries/expense accounts for top echelon are cut.

#2  Other countries will pick up the slack. This is a catastrophe, they aren't so hard-hearted.
Thus proving that we never needed to pay for this in the first place.
