WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has ended funding to U.N. World Food Program emergency programs helping keep millions alive in Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen and 11 other impoverished countries, many of them struggling with conflict, according to the organization and officials who spoke to The Associated Press.

The World Food Program, the largest provider of food aid, appealed to the U.S. to roll back the new cuts in a social media post Monday. The unexpected round of contract cancellations has targeted some of the last remaining humanitarian programs run by the U.S. Agency for International Development, according to two U.S. officials, a United Nations official and documents obtained by the AP.

“This could amount to a death sentence for millions of people facing extreme hunger and starvation,” WFP said on X.

The agency said it was in contact with the Trump administration “to urge for continued support” for lifesaving programs and thanked the United States and other donors for past contributions.

It's honestly scary how much lacking empathy has become a point of pride amongst the alt right.

…it was the least the US could have done as they’re the reason so many countries are destroyed in the first place. 

The next Democratic administration better fix literally everything and do more… I do not envy the task

That is what previous democratic admins have been doing for decades now, cleaning up after republican admins. Republicans are in the absolute perfect position: They come into office, wreck **** like they always do, a democrat comes into office, while they’re cleaning things up republicans cry about how bad things are, then they get back into office and take credit for what the democrats did… and the cycle continues
