New figures confirm the exodus of tens of billions in foreign aid in 2025, led by major powers the US, UK, Japan and France.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has reported worldwide giving fell by $A56.7 billion in 2025, or 23 per cent, making it the worst year on record for aid cuts.
The shortfall will have meant hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths across much of the developed world, with millions more likely to die as a result.
