Mon Apr 07 22:01:31 UTC 2025: ## UN Warns Millions Face Starvation After US Cuts Food Aid
**UNITED NATIONS** — The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) issued a stark warning Monday, stating that the US government’s termination of emergency food assistance to 14 countries could condemn millions to starvation. The WFP declared that the funding cuts risk a devastating humanitarian crisis, potentially leading to widespread death among those already facing extreme hunger.
WFP officials are currently in contact with the US administration, seeking clarification on the funding cuts and urging a reversal of the decision. WFP Executive Director Cindy McCain amplified the severity of the situation, stressing on X (formerly Twitter) that the cuts will exacerbate existing hunger, fuel instability, and ultimately endanger global security. Ms. McCain called on world leaders to urgently address the potential consequences of this action. The WFP’s statement underscores the critical role US funding plays in preventing mass starvation and highlights the potential for a catastrophic humanitarian fallout.
