联合王国首相凯尔·斯塔默(Keir Starmer)将联合王国对联合国世界粮食计划署的资助削减三分之一,从2024年的6.10亿美元减少到2025年的4.35亿美元,尽管联合王国公开承诺消除全球饥饿。 UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under fire for cutting UK funding to the UN World Food Programme by one-third, from $610 million in 2024 to $435 million in 2025, despite public pledges to combat global hunger. 这一削减是外国援助进一步下降到国内生产总值的0.3%的一部分,它引起了人道主义团体和前官员的关切,他们说,这破坏了解决阿富汗和索马里等危机地区日益严重的粮食不安全问题的努力。 The reduction, part of a broader drop in foreign aid to 0.3% of GDP, has raised concerns among humanitarian groups and former officials, who say it undermines efforts to address rising food insecurity in crisis zones like Afghanistan and Somalia. 政府引用财政优先事项和增加国防开支, 但批评者认为此举与Starmer的国际承诺相矛盾, 并可能带来致命后果。 The government cites fiscal priorities and increased defence spending, but critics argue the move contradicts Starmer’s international commitments and may have deadly consequences.
