The U.S. funds 22 percent of the organization's costs, and would leave a "gaping hole that other big donors would struggle to fill if they decided to cut funding."
Why is this important?
Severe funding cuts would deeply hinder responses to major humanitarian crises, of political, economic, environmental, or societal nature, and terrorist attacks. To cut funding so dramatically during a period of "unprecedented global hunger" is callous and disgraceful. We cannot allow these proposed budget cuts to materialize.
