Cuts to international aid funding have plunged Kakuma, one of the world’s largest refugee camps in Kenya, into a worsening humanitarian crisis. With food rations reduced to a fraction of the minimum requirement, residents face an impossible choice.

Only about a quarter of the world’s planned aid projects were financed in October. The consequences of that can be seen, for example, on the border between Chad and Sudan: The global community is violating its own humanitarian principles.
