UK Prime Minister allocates drought aid to farmers
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced a commitment of £65 million (approximately $88 million) to support farmers affected by the drought that struck England and Wales, with July recording the driest month on record. The funding aims to bolster sustainable agricultural support programs, construct water reservoirs, and improve access during drought periods, as grain crop yields face the worst harvest since 1984. Burnham emphasized that food production capacity is a matter of national security, noting the increasing health risks from heatwaves, which have resulted in approximately 2,877 excess deaths in England.
