U.K. announces nearly $47 million in vital food and water to West Africa amid Ukraine food crisis.


The British government said that it would provide nearly $47 million in humanitarian funding across Mali, Burkina Faso, Chad, Nigeria and Niger as Russia's war in Ukraine further exacerbates food shortages.

"Growing instability and violent extremism across the region and the war on Ukraine have exacerbated existing issues with food insecurity and malnutrition," the British government wrote in a statement.

"As things stand, there will be close to 20 million people across the region in need of humanitarian aid by the end of the year," the statement added.

The U.K. said that a significant portion of the money will focus on feeding malnourished women and children in the region.
