US EditionTo keep millions alive after aid cuts, pull climate and other funding in richer nations, group says
- The International Rescue Committee and Mercy Corps warn that aid cuts in 2025 are forcing organizations to prioritize basic humanitarian aid in poor countries over other programs in wealthier nations.
- These shifts stem from the Trump administration's dismantling of the main U.S. Aid agency and terminating thousands of programs, which reduced U.S. Aid funding dramatically and pressured other donors to cut aid too.
- Aid organizations report that life-saving programs are shutting down in fragile states like Sudan, where 80% of communal kitchens have closed, while middle-income countries continue to receive disproportionate funding.
- David Miliband emphasized that the existing aid system cannot remain unchanged and recommended that a minimum of 50% of international aid funding be directed toward countries affected by conflict, given the current challenging funding environment.
- The IRC and Mercy Corps advocate redirecting aid from wealthier countries' climate and refugee programs to 13 poor nations facing severe conflict and environmental harm to prevent further destabilization.
