World News in Brief: UN spotlights education aid solution, Sri Lanka prison violence, humanitarian aid to Venezuela

The United Nations has raised an urgent call to address the declining trend in global education aid. Recent reports show that aid to education decreased by eight percent from 2023 to 2025, with basic education suffering a sharper decline of 15 percent. The UN emphasizes the need for innovative solutions to reverse this trend and ensure that education remains a top priority in international aid agendas. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka is grappling with escalating violence within its prison system. The unrest, triggered by overcrowding and poor living conditions, has sparked international concern. Authorities are under pressure to implement reforms and improve conditions to prevent further violence and ensure the safety of both inmates and staff. In South America, Venezuela is set to receive a significant boost in humanitarian aid as global organizations respond to the country's ongoing crisis. This aid aims to alleviate the severe shortages of food, medicine, and essential services affecting millions. The international community continues to push for sustainable solutions to improve living conditions and foster stability in the region.
