La congelación de la ayuda externa ordenada por el presidente Trump causa alarma en todo el mundo
January 29, 2025 - La decisión del presidente Donald Trump de EUA de pausar la financiación de asistencia para el exterior ha desatado alarma a nivel global dado que Washington es el mayor proovedor de ayuda humanitaria del mundo.
A federal judge on Tuesday blocked the funding freeze until February 3, but the aid programmes could still be at risk, depending on the results of a court battle.
Humanitarian organisations and UN agencies say they could face drastic curbs on their ability to distribute food, shelter and healthcare if the freeze becomes permanent.
The U.S. is by far the biggest contributor to global humanitarian aid, supplying an estimated $13.9 billion in 2024, accounting for 42% of all aid tracked by the United Nations, Reuters said.
