Aid cuts may see 22m die in five years
The Citizen
|November 19, 2025
More than 22 million people, many of them children, could die preventable deaths by 2030 due to aid cuts by the United States and European countries, new research said on Monday.
-
The findings are an update of a study earlier this year that said President Donald Trump’s sweeping reductions in assistance, including the dismantling the US Agency for International Development (USAid), could lead to 14 million additional deaths.
The new research, seen by AFP, takes into account reductions in all official development assistance as Britain, France and Germany also slash their aid to the developing world.
"It is the first time in the last 30 years that France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States are all cutting aid at the same time," said one of the new research's authors, Gonzalo Fanjul, policy and development director at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health.

What really happened, Cyril?
We are unlikely ever to know. Four years on, what happened at Phala Phala remains murky and, unusually for a man presumably keen to rebut the scurrilous accusations of his political enemies, the president has done everything possible to ensure that it stays that way.
