Bill Gates Warns of Rising Child Deaths Due to Aid Cuts

Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, is very worried.

He says that because rich countries like the United States, Britain, France, and Germany have cut their help to poorer countries, more children will die.

He thinks that this year, 4.8 million children will die before they turn five, which is 200,000 more than last year.

This is a big problem because the number of child deaths was going down for a long time.

Gates also criticized a group called DOGE, led by Elon Musk, for cutting off important health funds.

He hopes that new vaccines and medicines can help bring the number of child deaths back down soon.

Gates is trying to talk to leaders in these countries to convince them to keep helping poorer countries.
