Refugee Host Nations Face Funding Cuts, Border Closures

Charlotte Slente, Secretary General of the Danish Refugee Council, warns of potential border closures in developing nations hosting refugees, as Western countries reduce aid and tighten asylum rules. Uganda, for instance, has started limiting new arrivals, while Chad struggles to support nearly 900,000 refugees. The Councils funding has been cut, eliminating nearly 2,000 positions and reducing essential aid, largely due to U.S. aid reductions. Other European countries may also decrease funding, threatening global refugee support and host nation stability. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
