Anneliese Dodds Resigns as International Development Minister Due to Cut in Aid Budget

Anneliese Dodds resigned from her post as Britain's international development minister in response to Prime Minister Keir Starmer's move to reduce the foreign aid budget. The decision will lower the budget from 0.5% of GDP to 0.3%, impacting development initiatives in regions such as Gaza, Sudan, and Ukraine. Humanitarian organizations have voiced their dismay and apprehension, warning that the cuts could diminish the UK's global influence and negatively affect vulnerable populations. The decision is expected to spark internal debates within the Labour Party concerning budget reductions and policy directions.
