Trumps bevriezing van buitenlandse hulp doet wereldwijd alarmbellen rinkelen

January 29, 2025 - U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to pause foreign funding has sparked concern across the globe in light of Washington’s position as the top humanitarian aid provider.

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.
