More child labor, less security if UK aid cuts go ahead: NGOs

LONDON: Aid charities have warned of rising destitution, child labor and early marriages, as well as declining security, if planned cuts to the UK’s foreign aid budget are implemented. Last week, Britain announced that it would reduce its foreign aid commitment for the coming year from 0.7 percent of gross national income to 0.5 percent representing a real-term reduction of around £5 billion ($6.975 billion) in spending. Hundreds of charities have warned that the cuts would deliver a major blow to the world’s most marginalized people, many of whom are struggling to survive in dire humanitarian situations in the Middle East. Charles Lawley, head of communications and advocacy at aid charity Syria Relief, told Arab News that even in the most optimistic scenario, his organization expects to see an increase in suffering among Syrians in the country as well as those who fled to neighboring Lebanon.

11 Leading NGOs call on UK government to rethink aid budget cuts to Syria that puts lives at risk - Syrian Arab Republic

We strongly urge the government to stand true to its promise.
