Refugee Aid programmes in East Africa are shutting down as Western governments reduce funding.
The Norwegian Refugee Council in a statement accused the US and Europe of having “xenophobic policies” which are pushing migrants and refugees out of their countries, while at the same time slashing funds that would be needed to take care of them closer to their homes.
Regional Director of the Norwegian Refugee Council, Nigel Tricks,said.
“Fast and furious budget cuts are hitting the East Africa aid sector hard adding that If more funding is not found, malnutrition will rise, schools will close, and water-borne diseases will break out.
