Aid cuts ‘to leave 100,000 refugees without water’
PM faces rebellion after launching £4bn raid on overseas budget
TORY foreign aid cuts will leave 100,000 refugees without water and devastate health services for the world’s most vulnerable, campaigners have warned.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson was slammed by MPs on all sides for his decision to temporarily reduce foreign aid from 0.7 per cent of national income to 0.5 per cent, breaking a 2019 manifesto committment in the process.
The government claimed that the reduction was reasonable given the economic disruption caused by the pandemic.
