UN Alarmed as US Aid to United Nations Plummets to $2 Billion, Raising Global Concerns

The United Nations is alarmed by the significant decrease in US aid to the organization, with a drop to $2 billion in 2026 from $11 billion in 2023. This reduction in funding is expected to severely affect millions of people in conflict zones and areas hit by famine and disease, such as Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, Haiti, and Myanmar.

The UN emphasizes that humanitarian crises cannot wait for politics and urges Washington to reconsider its decision to cut aid to ensure the urgent needs of around 240 million people globally are met.
