Gold is 2025’s best performer. UBS sees more upside
Investing.com -- The UN World Food Program (WFP) offered a statement today expressing deep concern following notifications from the US administration that funding for emergency food assistance in 14 countries has been terminated. The WFP, the largest provider of food aid globally, warns that this move could have dire consequences for millions of people facing extreme hunger and starvation.
The WFP is currently in contact with the US administration to seek clarification on the decision and to advocate for the continuation of support for these vital programs. The organization continues to appreciate the contributions it receives from the US and all its donors, with its staff working relentlessly to reach vulnerable communities with crucial food assistance in hunger-stricken areas around the world.
This development follows a recent report by the Associated Press stating that the Trump administration has terminated some of the last remaining US funding for the UN World Food Program. The report also stated that other organizations providing food and other lifesaving services to millions in Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and other impoverished countries grappling with conflict have also been affected by these funding cuts.
According to the Associated Press, the WFP took some of the largest hits in this new and unexpected round of contract terminations. The information was confirmed by two US officials, a United Nations official, and documents obtained by the AP.
