US Commits $2 Billion to UN Humanitarian Aid Amid Funding Cuts
The US has pledged $2 billion to support humanitarian aid in over a dozen countries through a new UN mechanism aimed at improving efficiency and accountability, following significant aid cuts by the previous administration. The aid will focus on life-saving assistance in countries like Ukraine, Nigeria, and Sudan, but excludes Gaza, which will be handled separately. This move is part of broader efforts to address global humanitarian needs amid declining donor support and funding challenges.
