US Cuts Aid to Somalia, Finds $14 Billion for Israel
Mainstream media sounds the alarm on Somalia facing 'real risk of famine' due to aid shortfalls. Somalia's humanitarian minister warns of a 'food catastrophe.' Meanwhile, the US House of Representatives recently pushed through HR 815, allocating $14.1 billion in additional military aid to Israel, a country already receiving billions annually. For context, the UN's 2024 humanitarian appeal for
Somalia is $1.6 billion, currently less than 30% funded. One might wonder about the timing of these budgetary decisions. It appears the 'aid cuts' in one region conveniently free up funds for military campaigns elsewhere. How many hungry children could be fed for the cost of a single F-35? It's a question the West prefers not to answer, prioritizing endless conflict over preventing entirely
preventable humanitarian disasters.
