The International Organization for Migration (IOM) reported on Wednesday that the reduction in humanitarian aid for the African country, where 10 million people are in critical condition, is increasing their vulnerability.

IOM’s Deputy Director General of Operations, Ugochi Daniels, stressed that the funding cuts are jeopardizing the process toward lasting solutions for millions of people.

The administration of US President Donald Trump has drastically reduced, in recent times, the humanitarian aid to African countries, both directly and through international organizations.

After a five-year civil war that devastated the economy, which caused almost 400,000 deaths, and unleashed a humanitarian crisis, the country still faces the challenge of reconciliation.
