This article critiques the handling of U.S. foreign aid programs under the influence of President Trump and Elon Musk, highlighting dire consequences for the world's most vulnerable populations. In Nigeria, the lack of access to vital nutrition for starving children due to bureaucratic chaos is alarming, with necessary supplies stuck in warehouses. Meanwhile, in Uganda, the absence of U.S.A.I.D. support in the face of an Ebola outbreak raises serious public health concerns. The piece underscores the crucial role of U.S.A.I.D. as a preventative measure against global health threats.
In Sokoto, Nigeria, toddlers are starving because emergency feeding centers supported by U.S.A.I.D. have run out of the nutrient-rich paste used to save the lives of severely malnourished children.
A doctor on the scene told me that with U.S.A.I.D. absent, there is a greater risk that Ebola will spread and maybe even infect Americans. It's a reminder that a robust U.S.A.I.D. is a first defense against epidemics and pandemics.
