USAID is facing a potential reorganization that may merge it with the State Department, leading to concerns about the immediate impact on international aid delivery. Reports from various countries, including Haiti and Zambia, highlight that crucial medical supplies for HIV treatments are stuck due to USAID workers being placed on administrative leave. Vital medications, including antiretrovirals, are inaccessible, creating significant risks for the health of thousands, particularly children born with HIV. Critics warn that this disruption affects millions, putting lives at risk during a vital time for aid distribution.
