Summary

Global hunger is worsening as wealthy nations cut humanitarian aid. The U.N. expects to help only 60% of the 307 million people in need next year, leaving 117 million without aid.

Funding shortfalls have forced agencies like the World Food Program to slash rations and aid recipients, as seen in Syria.

The U.S., Germany, and the EU provide 58% of global aid, while major economies like China and India contribute less than 1%.

Critics argue donor fatigue, political shifts, and aid restrictions hinder effective relief efforts. Solutions like mandatory U.N. funding remain unimplemented.
