UK Government Slashed Humanitarian Aid for East Africa
The UK government has announced a reduction in humanitarian aid for east Africa, which is facing multiple crises including drought, conflict, and inflation.
The reduction has been criticized by charity officials as a "betrayal" of millions of people in the region, and as a "gross dereliction of duties" by the UK's role as co-chair of a pledging conference.
The aid package includes funding for Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan, Kenya, and Uganda.
