#global crisis

A global report released by the WHO and partners indicates that over 655 million people worldwide lack access to electricity, while nearly two billion depend on polluting fuels for cooking. This situation poses significant health risks and exacerbates existing inequalities, highlighting a potential global energy and health crisis.

Global humanitarian aid has reached its lowest level in a decade, with a reduction of over $8 billion in 2025. This decline is primarily attributed to significant cuts from the United States after the closure of the USAID programme, as well as broader reductions in development spending by Western donors, including Germany, according to Eastleigh Voice.
