UN food program closes its southern Africa office in the wake of Trump administration aid cuts

The Trump administration is taking steps to close a U.S. Food and Drug Administration office in St. Louis, which is the largest on the list of canceled leases, according to the Department of Government Efficiency.
The FDA office's closure is expected to save $2.5 million annually, as stated by the Department of Government Efficiency.
UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher warns that funding cuts and political battles are jeopardizing global humanitarian aid efforts.
Fletcher emphasizes that the humanitarian system is underfunded and overstretched, risking a humanitarian collapse amid crises in Gaza and Sudan.
