UNICEF warns of ‘serious consequences’ for children if UK cuts funding
The United Nations children’s agency has warned of "serious consequences" for vulnerable infants around the world after learning that the UK plans to shrink its core funding by around 60%.
Such funding enabled UNICEF to respond swiftly to the most pressing "education, protection and health needs" of children impacted by the coronavirus pandemic last year, the organisation said in a statement published on its website.
"Any cuts to these funds will have serious consequences for children," it said.
