G20 leaders urge increased aid for Gaza and Ukraine and call for global hunger pact
At the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro, leaders called for increased humanitarian aid to Gaza and Ukraine, and a global pact to combat hunger. The joint declaration included proposals for a tax on billionaires and reforms to the UN Security Council. The declaration emphasized the urgent need for humanitarian assistance in Gaza and Ukraine but lacked specific actions. Argentina opposed some elements, particularly regarding the UN's sustainable development agenda and social media regulations, but still signed the document. Brazil's President Lula highlighted the launch of a global alliance against hunger, which has gained support from 82 nations. Leaders also pledged to reform the UN Security Council to better represent the current global landscape, though details on implementation remain unclear.
