UN: Cuts in humanitarian funding will lead to hunger for millions of people

October 16, 2025 Humanitarian aid

Nearly 14 million people could face acute food insecurity by the end of the year, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) warned. This is due to a sharp reduction in humanitarian funding. Six of WFP's most critical operations are at risk.

This concerns aid programs in Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Haiti, Somalia, South Sudan and Sudan, where the organization's work is already being disrupted and the situation will only worsen.

“Every cut in rations means a child goes to bed hungry, a mother goes without food, and a family loses the support they need to survive,” said WFP Executive Director Cindy McCain.

Record hunger levels

The current crisis is unfolding against the backdrop of record levels of global hunger319 million people worldwide face acute food insecurity, with 44 million of them on the brink of starvation. Sudan and Gaza have already registered full-scale famine.

This year, WFP will receive 40 percent less funding than last year, with a projected budget of $6.4 billion compared to $10 billion in 2024.

"We risk losing decades of progress in the fight against hunger," McCain stressed.

“Even hard-won gains – such as in the Sahel region, where 500,000 people have been lifted off humanitarian aid through integrated food support and sustainable development programmes – could be undone without the necessary funding,” she added.

Critical operations are at risk

Funding cuts could push 13.7 million people currently receiving food assistance into emergency situations, according to a new WFP report.

In Afghanistan, less than 10 percent of those in need receive food, despite rising malnutrition rates.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, famine has reached record levels: a quarter of the country's population—28 million people—are experiencing food insecurity. This month, 2.3 million people were supposed to be fed, but due to resource shortages, only 600,000 will receive aid, and by February, supplies may cease altogether.

In Haiti, hot meal programs have already been suspended, and families are receiving only half the standard monthly ration.

In Somalia, 2.2 million people received support last year, but in November only 350,000 people in need will receive it.

In South Sudan, WFP is currently distributing reduced rations, and domestic stocks of some foods are running low.

In Sudan, where civil war is raging, WFP provides assistance to 4 million people every month, but 25 million – half the country's population – suffer from acute food insecurity.

Lack of reserves

The organization notes that the cuts have even impacted preparedness efforts. For the first time in nearly a decade, Haiti lacks reserve stocks for the hurricane season, while in Afghanistan, food supplies could not be stocked in warehouses ahead of the onset of winter.

“The devastating impact of food aid cuts not only threatens lives, but also undermines stability, leads to displacement, and could trigger broader social and economic disruption,” McCain warned.

October 16, 2025 Peace and security

In his message on World Food Day, celebrated on 16 October, the UN Secretary-General called for international solidarity in the fight against hunger and strengthening food security.

This year's theme, "Hand in Hand for Better Nutrition and a Better Future," reflects the need for collaborative efforts at all levels, from governments to local communities.

According to the UN chief, despite significant progress achieved over the past eight decades, 673 million people worldwide go to bed hungry. Even more live in insecurity due to food shortages. Progress in the fight against hunger has slowed, and in some regions, progress is being reversed.

Other challenges include rising obesity, climate change, and the use of hunger as a weapon in armed conflict. "It is a shameful and horrifying reality that in times of war, people are starved en masse," the Secretary-General noted.

The UN chief emphasized that humanity has everything it needs—knowledge, technology, and resources—to end hunger. "We only need one thing: unity," he declared.

In closing his address, the Secretary-General called on the global community to take decisive action: “Let us unite once again to build food systems that feed people and protect the planet.”

In 2025, they also celebrate 80th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), established in 1945 to combat hunger and ensure food availability throughout the world.

Global challenges require joint solutions

Modern agricultural and food systems are facing unprecedented challenges. Conflicts, the impacts of extreme climate events, economic shocks, and inequality are undermining access to food and the sustainability of supplies.

“The lands we farm, the water we depend on, and the biodiversity we depend on for life are under increasing pressure,” FAO notes.

While the agri-food sector is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, it can also play a key role in combating climate change by changing the way we produce, store, and distribute food.

FAO emphasizes that achieving food security requires the combined efforts of governments, organizations, the private sector, and civil society. Only by working hand in hand—across borders, sectors, and generations—can humanity transform agricultural and food systems so that everyone has access to healthy food and can live in harmony with nature.

Events in Rome and around the world

Home ceremony to mark World Food Day takes place on October 16 at FAO headquarters in Rome, where a new Museum of Food and AgricultureThe museum's interactive exhibition will explore a world where everyone has the right to food, through the language of cuisine, art, science, and innovation. The museum will be available for both in-person and online visitors.

In the afternoon, an international discussion on "The Future of Food: Conversations for a Fairer World" will bring together FAO leaders, chefs, activists, thought leaders, and representatives from other organizations. Participants will discuss how to connect local initiatives with global action to reform food systems.

Particular attention is paid to youth. On October 17, an interactive event for schoolchildren aged 9-14 will take place, featuring young activists, athletes, musicians, and innovators. The program includes discussions about the future of food, creative performances, art projects, and musical numbers.

Moscow, October 16 /Xinhua/ — Russia will produce 510 million tons of oil by the end of 2025, a 1 percent decrease from last year's figures, but this is a voluntary reduction. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced this Thursday, speaking at the plenary session of Russian Energy Week.

"Russia maintains its position as a leading oil producer, despite unfair competition being used against us. We account for approximately 10% of global production and expect to produce 510 million tons of oil by the end of the year. This is approximately one percent lower than last year, but I would like to point out, dear colleagues, that this is happening in accordance with the OPEC agreement—that is, it is a voluntary reduction," Vladimir Putin stated.

According to him, Russia, together with its partners in the expanded format of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), is fulfilling its obligations to balance the global oil market.

"Russia continues to cooperate within OPEC. Based on mutual interests, we and our partners are fulfilling our obligations to balance the global oil market," the Russian president noted. He emphasized that this is being done not only for producers but also for consumers. "Our joint efforts are yielding results. I'm primarily referring to market supply volumes and pricing conditions," the Russian leader added.

Vladimir Putin emphasized that these parameters satisfy both oil producers and consumers, allow the industry to launch investment projects, and, most importantly, provide conditions for more predictable development of the entire global economy.

“Predictability in the oil market is probably the most important thing in this sector of the global economy,” the Russian president concluded.

October 16, 2025: 85% of Russians are concerned about environmental protection issues – survey by the Ecology Foundation of the Russian Agricultural Bank

85% of Russians are concerned about environmental protection issues, according to a survey by the Ecology Foundation of the Russian Agricultural Bank.

The Ecology Foundation of the Russian Agricultural Bank conducted a nationwide survey on environmental habits and citizens' awareness of the problem of microplastic pollution. The results demonstrated a high level of environmental responsibility among Russians: the overwhelming majority (85%) consider environmental protection issues personally important, and 65% consciously strive to reduce their use of single-use plastics.

The Ecology Foundation is systematically working to reduce microplastic pollution. Key areas include developing waste-separation infrastructure, projects to clean up natural areas, and educational campaigns, including poster sessions for young people. The study was conducted as part of a project supported by the Presidential Grants Fund, which also created a specialized resource. Microplastic.rf, where you can find expert publications on this topic and submit an application for lectures from Foundation experts.

The most popular eco-habits of Russians in 2025

A survey by the Ecology Foundation of the Russian Agricultural Bank revealed that eco-friendly habits have become firmly ingrained in Russians' daily lives. Equal shares of respondents—31% each—regularly use reusable bottles or mugs and conserve electricity and water. Another 18% of respondents indicated that they periodically donate unwanted clothing and electronics for recycling or charity. Eight percent of respondents each expressed a preference for packaging-free goods or locally sourced products. Only 4% of respondents reported no eco-friendly habits in their daily lives.

The majority of respondents (65%) make a conscious effort to avoid purchasing single-use plastic products, which is a key factor in the fight against plastic pollution. Thirty percent of respondents reported that they engage in this habit on an ad hoc basis. Only 5% of respondents said they are not yet ready to reduce their plastic consumption.

Russians have also developed a unique culture of plastic bag use: more than half (58%) reuse them, and almost one in five (21%) strives to completely eliminate them at the checkout. However, 19% of respondents admitted to using bags only once.

Almost every second respondent (48%) already separates plastic waste. However, 50% do not yet do so, indicating significant potential for increased participation in waste separation. Only 2% of respondents in this survey said they do not consider it necessary to sort recyclables.

Almost half of respondents (49%) said they would like to see more recycling bins on the streets. Another 31% cited a lack of space at home. These factors significantly outweighed a lack of information (13%) and a reluctance to spend time (8%).

The Ecology Foundation – a response to public demand

"The survey showed that Russian society has developed a strong demand for an eco-friendly lifestyle and sustainable practices. The Ecology Foundation of the Russian Agricultural Bank will take this data into account in its future work, focusing on educational projects about microplastics and supporting initiatives to develop a waste separation system. For example, the raw materials collected by the foundation—approximately 40.5 tons—are recycled wherever possible. The resulting materials are used to make benches and bins for coastal areas, as well as everyday items such as pens, reusable mugs, and shopping bags," noted Elmira Morozova, Director of the Ecology Foundation of the Russian Agricultural Bank.

The study was conducted by the Ecology Foundation of the Russian Agricultural Bank in September 2025. More than 3,000 people aged 21 to 55 across Russia participated in the survey.

Moscow, October 16 (Xinhua) — During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), China made a significant contribution to the global economy, becoming a dominant driver of growth and innovation. Nikita Stepanov, a senior researcher at the Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, gave this assessment in an interview with Xinhua ahead of the 4th Plenary Session of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee.

"During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China made a significant and multifaceted contribution to the global economy. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic and the deteriorating international trade situation, the country ensured sustainable GDP growth, supporting global demand for goods and services. This contributed to the economic recovery of many countries, particularly in Asia," he noted, noting that China has become the dominant driver of growth and innovation in the global economy.

According to N. Stepanov, China actively promoted the export of technologies and innovative solutions, particularly in areas such as telecommunications (5G), electric vehicles, and artificial intelligence. This stimulated the modernization of various economies and accelerated global technological progress.

"China has also actively promoted sustainable development, implementing environmental standards and developing low-carbon technologies, which has prompted other countries to reconsider their growth strategies in the context of environmental safety and the fight against the climate crisis," the expert added.

N. Stepanov emphasized that China's Belt and Road Initiative continued to develop, providing significant investment in transportation, energy, and digital infrastructure in dozens of countries. "These projects improved logistics and facilitated closer market integration, strengthening economic resilience globally," he said.

According to the Xinhua source, China's transition from a rapid growth model based on mass production and low costs to an innovative one focused on quality, environmental friendliness, and technological leadership has become a model for international partners, stimulating the creation of new forms of cooperation and more sustainable value chains. "Over the past five years, China has strengthened its position as a leading global economy and has become a catalyst for global economic transformation, making development more innovative and sustainable," Stepanov noted.

A Russian economist described the five-year plan as a powerful strategic management mechanism, giving China institutional advantages in ensuring sustainable growth, international leadership, and the implementation of major initiatives. The plan encompasses economic, social, environmental, and technological spheres, providing a holistic approach instead of fragmented efforts. Furthermore, the plan integrates external initiatives, such as the Belt and Road Initiative, into the domestic economic strategy, enabling the coordinated development of infrastructure, investment relations, and trade.

"The plan provides a clear vision and specific goals for the medium term. This helps us effectively allocate resources, direct investments, and strengthen priority sectors," explained N. Stepanov, adding that through the five-year plan, China is reforming global economic governance systems and systematically increasing its influence in international financial and trade institutions.

TAIYUAN, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) — Eighteen officials, former political figures, and youth representatives from nine Eastern and Southern European countries, namely Albania, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia, recently completed a tour of North China's Shanxi Province.

During the visit, the delegation visited the cities of Datong, Jinzhong, and Taiyuan, where they learned about the province's achievements in rural development, as well as the development of new-quality productive forces, advanced manufacturing, green industry, and cultural industries.

While visiting the Yungangshiku Grottoes and Temples and the Xuankun Temple in Datong, Slovenian journalist Jan Vajgl developed a keen interest in Chinese culture. He said he was struck by the ancient architecture, but what truly fascinated him was the fusion of modern cultural heritage preservation technologies with the crystallization of ancient civilization.

At the Taiyuan Heavy Machinery Group Co., Ltd. exhibition center in Taiyuan, visitors were deeply impressed by the latest technology and cutting-edge equipment on display, including an intelligent forklift and a smart mine car. "The pace of China's scientific, technological, and industrial development is astonishing and exceeds all expectations," said Kadir Ismaili, a youth representative from North Macedonia and a graduate student at Yunnan University in southwest China, speaking in Chinese. -0-

"Pearl of the South of Russia": Rosneft unveiled its 50th anniversary route for auto tourists.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Rosneft, together with the Ministry of Tourism and Health Resorts of the Stavropol Territory, presented a new route for car tourists in the cities of the Caucasian Mineral Waters region – "Pearl of Southern Russia." This is the fiftieth route developed by the Company for Russians traveling by car across the country.

Rosneft actively supports initiatives to develop domestic tourism and creates comfortable conditions for road travelers. Developing roadside services and improving customer service at Rosneft filling stations is one of the Company's priorities.

The "Pearl of Southern Russia" route passes through the four main cities of the Caucasian Mineral Waters region: Pyatigorsk, Yessentuki, Kislovodsk, and Zheleznovodsk. Along the route, tourists will see picturesque terrain paths and healing pump rooms, the site of Lermontov's duel, the Tsander Institute of Mechanotherapy—the forerunner of modern fitness centers—and many other attractions of the region.

The total length of the route is approximately 100 km, connecting 35 of the most popular and significant locations in the Caucasian Mineral Waters and passing through 10 Rosneft gas stations. The route's presentation took place at one of these gas stations, in Pyatigorsk.

The first stop on the route is Zheleznovodsk. This resort town is famous for its mineral springs and attracts tourists with its picturesque nature. A must-see is the Resort Park with its cascading staircase, sculptures, and architectural monuments, as well as the landmark and symbol of Zheleznovodsk, the Pushkin Gallery. The building with a small, graceful dome is located in the Healing Park. Pushkin himself visited Zheleznovodsk in 1820, where the idea for the poem "Prisoner of the Caucasus" was born. Also in Zheleznovodsk, travelers by car will find the Palace of the Emir of Bukhara, a unique architectural monument in the oriental style, whose domes, minaret, ornate balconies, and intricate carvings seem to have stepped straight from the pages of "One Thousand and One Nights."

The next stop is Pyatigorsk. Here, visitors can sample healing mineral water, enjoy the mountain views, and explore Lermontov's sites. For example, Lermontov's House, where the poet spent the last months of his life and wrote many of his famous poems. The house has retained its original appearance. The museum's collection includes unique exhibits, including the poet's personal belongings. In Pyatigorsk, tourists can soak up the atmosphere of the great Russian poet's works and immerse themselves in his life and work by strolling through the Lermontov Gallery, visiting Lake Proval, and taking a stroll through Yemanuelevsky Park.

The third city on the route is Yessentuki. A historical, architectural, and natural landmark, the heart of the Caucasian Mineral Waters resort—all this is the Yessentuki Resort Park. Tourists are invited to stroll along rose-lined alleys, admire iconic sculptures, and sample the renowned mineral water. Those seeking a more relaxing experience can also visit the renowned N.A. Semashko Mud Baths or spend time in the Tsander Institute of Mechanotherapy, a prototype of modern gyms.

The new route ends in Kislovodsk. The city's signature National Park encompasses 966 hectares of unique natural resources on the slopes of the Dzhinalsky Range. The total length of the terrain paths is 24.3 km. The park is home to 900 species of herbaceous plants, 217 species of birds, and 39 species of mammals. Road travelers can also learn more about the history of the resort town and the entire Stavropol Krai at the unique Visitor Center Museum of the Kislovodsky National Park and relax in the famous Narzan Gallery, one of the oldest architectural monuments in Kislovodsk.

The "Pearl of Southern Russia" route is a journey through the most popular and significant locations of the Caucasian Mineral Waters, where natural resources and picturesque landscapes are closely linked to a unique history.

Reference:

Rosneft actively supports initiatives to develop domestic tourism. Together with its partners, it has already developed 50 routes for road trips across the country. Some of these are available on Rosneft's own information and service platform, "Horizons of Russia", which operates on the principle of a constructor, allowing tourists to plan their own route through the Company's gas stations.

"Pearl of Southern Russia" is Rosneft's second route in the Stavropol Krai. In 2024, the Company and the Stavropol Krai Government presented the "Roads of Stavropol" route, which covers a total length of 350 km. It includes more than 30 sites, including Mount Koltso, the Narzan Gallery, the Peter and Paul Cathedral in Yessentuki, the Pyatigorsk Hippodrome, the Lermontov House State Museum-Reserve, and much more. The route can be found on the "Horizons of Russia" platform.

Rosneft's retail network is the largest in Russia in terms of geographic coverage and number of stations. The Rosneft gas station brand remains one of the leaders in Russia in terms of recognition and fuel quality. The Company operates approximately 3,000 gas stations in total.
