Poorest countries hit hardest by UK aid cuts under Keir Starmer government, new figures reveal

Aid to the world's poorest countries has decreased by almost 7% under the Keir Starmer government, according to new figures. This means that countries with the lowest incomes have seen a significant reduction in the financial support they receive from the UK. The aid cuts are particularly concerning as they will likely have a negative impact on the economies of these countries, potentially exacerbating poverty and inequality.

Why it matters

The UK aid cuts will reduce the financial support for the poorest countries. This reduction in aid may lead to increased economic and social challenges for these countries.
