The US provides nearly three quarters of aid and has stalled contributions.
The UN has warned that refugees are ‘slowly starving’ in camps in Kenya following massive funding cuts. The United States which has been providing nearly three quarters of the aid has stalled contributions leading other donor countries to do the same. We have a report from Kakuma refugee settlement in northern Kenya.
We also speak to the head of the United Nations Refugee Agency Filippo Grandi, who tells us the number of refugees and displaced in the world has doubled in the last ten years.
And the United States says it's moving staff out of its embassy in Iraq and military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. The move comes amid reports that Israel may be preparing an attack on Iran which could prompt retaliation against US facilities.
