flag UK's aid cut to 0.3% of GNI harms global health, food, and education, risking 620,000 lives, charities warn.

flag A year after the UK cut its foreign aid from 0.5% to 0.3% of GNI—citing defence needs amid Russia’s war in Ukraine—nearly 100 charities warn the reductions have caused severe harm in vulnerable nations, disrupting food, water, health, and education services. flag The cuts, faster than those in the US, are linked to rising child hunger, disease, and preventable deaths, with estimates suggesting up to 620,000 lives could be lost. flag Experts stress debt relief could offset aid cuts by freeing up funds for health, education, and climate resilience. flag With the UK hosting major global development events, advocates urge a reversal to restore its moral standing and leadership in global cooperation.
