World Food Program

Roughly 5.5 million people in the United States have lost food assistance through SNAP in the year since the 2025 reconciliation law was enacted, including about 2 million children. Critics point to the law's expanded work requirements, arguing the cuts push many people off the program without actually increasing employment or earnings, prompting renewed debate over the policy's real-world impact.

Palestinians in Gaza fear another famine after the World Food Program announced funding cuts that will strip an estimated 500,000 people of critical food assistance. Daily hot meal distributions are set to fall from 250,000 to 150,000, deepening an already severe humanitarian crisis in the territory.
