UN scales down global aid plan
Bangkok Post
|June 18, 2025
The United Nations said on Monday it was drastically scaling back its global humanitarian aid plans because of the “deepest funding cuts ever” — leaving tens of millions of people facing dire straits.
-
The UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said it was seeking $29 billion (944.5 billion baht) in funding for 2025 compared to the $44 billion originally requested in December, in a “hyper-prioritised” appeal.
Since US President Donald Trump returned to office in January, the United States — the world’s top donor — has heavily slashed foreign aid, causing havoc in the humanitarian sector across the globe.
Drastic US funding cuts have had dramatic consequences for emergency aid, vaccination campaigns and the distribution of drugs to fight Aids.
