Press releases and statements

Action Against Hunger is mounting a response to the 7.2 magnitude earthquake that hit southern Haiti on Saturday 14 August 2021 and Tropical Storm Grace, which followed.

Action Against Hunger will scale up its work in Gaza and continue its dedication to protect and respond to the needs of the population in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

The Covid-19 pandemic has interacted with new, ongoing and protracted conflicts, exacerbating existing inequalities and protection concerns, and contributing to dramatically escalating humanitarian needs including displacement, famine, food insecurity and desperate medical shortfalls.

Save the Children and Action Against Hunger urge the UK to reverse these cuts without delay.

Yesterday’s statement and today’s International Development Committee session on UK official development assistance (ODA) spend have provided none of the clarity we desperately need.

The UK Government has cut aid to Syria, which recently marked ten years of conflict, by almost a third.

Fires in camps in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, have highlighted the continued need for emergency humanitarian assistance for Rohingya refugee communities living there.

Communities are still in need of urgent humanitarian assistance a decade on from the start of the conflict in the country.

International and national non-governmental organisations (NGOs) working in South Sudan call on the UK Government to reconsider urgently the reported 59% budget cuts to vital international aid.

The 2021 aid budget earmarked for nutrition in developing countries is only 36% of that in 2019, even before cuts are made to reduce aid spending to 0.5% of Gross National Income.

The UK government has almost halved the amount pledged to support the UN's response in Yemen.

A wave of violence has broken out across the Central African Republic following disputed elections on 27 December 2020.
