Syria aid cuts.
After years of threatening to reduce aid, the UK government finally made good on its promise in March when it slashed – by a third – funding for the UN’s Syrian refugee programme.
The decision came at a time when ‘the situation has never been worse’, according to Jean-Michel Grand, executive director of Action against Hunger. Ten years since the beginning of the war in Syria, the World Food Programme reports 12 million within the country are food insecure.
