UN Secretary-General António Guterres has warned that severe cuts to humanitarian and development funding by the United States will have devastating consequences for millions of vulnerable people across the globe.
Speaking at the UN Headquarters in New York on Friday, Guterres stated that these funding reductions would severely impact critical programmes worldwide.
The secretary-general urged the U.S. government to reconsider its decision, emphasizing the potential dangers of reducing its humanitarian role. He highlighted that such cuts would not only affect people in need but also global stability.
