The United Nations has requested $6 billion in aid for Sudan this year, citing the world's worst hunger crisis and massive displacement caused by ongoing civil war. Reuters indicates that the appeal marks a 40% increase from last year, coming at a time when global aid budgets are under pressure, partly due to U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent funding freeze, which has impacted critical humanitarian programs worldwide.
Moves to close the U.S. international aid agency are now preventing global disaster response teams from operating. As part of a mega efficiency push, digital support employees are among the latest to be terminated by the administration's DOGE department. Caroline Malone reports.
Emergency Relief Coordinator Martin Griffiths says that UN humanitarians remain deeply committed to delivering aid across war-torn Gaza, despite speculation that operations could be suspended due to safety concerns. The UN relief chief denied that any “ultimatum” had been given by the Israeli military.
