Gates: Deaths will rise 'in the millions' linked to global aid cuts

Bill Gates, the technologist turned philanthropist, has warned that global aid cuts will likely see millions more vulnerable people die in the next four to six years.

In an interview with Reuters as he pledged to give away his fortune more quickly than planned, giving his foundation $200 billion spending power to 2045, he said he was surprised by the abrupt cuts to aid by governments this year, but expected they would come back to caring about children's survival over the next 20-year period.
