This decision follows a funding shortfall, primarily due to the United States reducing its financial support for global aid programs.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned that these funding cuts could have widespread repercussions not only for Ukraine but also for global stability.
He emphasized that a lack of humanitarian aid could lead to increased poverty, insecurity, and health crises worldwide.
The situation is particularly alarming for Ukraine, where humanitarian programs provide essential food, medical supplies, and shelter to those affected by war and economic hardship.
As assistance is now being reduced or completely halted, vulnerable populations may struggle to access basic necessities.
This funding crisis is not limited to Ukraine. Several other countries, including Ethiopia, Afghanistan, and South Sudan, are also facing significant cuts in humanitarian aid. Programs aimed at combating malnutrition, supporting refugees, and addressing the aftermath of natural disasters are at risk of closure.
Guterres called for urgent international intervention, strongly urging world leaders to find alternative funding sources and ensure that millions of people do not find themselves in an even more dire situation. Without additional support, the consequences could be devastating for global humanitarian efforts.
