Carey Mulligan criticises government aid delay © BBC
An international charity working to prevent children being trafficked from Afghanistan says a delay to promised UK government funding is devastating .
The government had agreed to pay War Child £500,000 from July this year in a much-publicised donation match scheme.
But they now say they will not pay out the money until April 2022.
War Child patron and actress Carey Mulligan said the damaging decision needed reversing - but the government said it had to take tough decisions. The children at risk of abuse and exploitation need our support now not next year, she told BBC Newsnight.
