Elon Musk's actions are endangering USAID, the federal agency that provides critical international assistance. His push, alongside Trump's initiatives, may lead to the agency's dismantling, adversely impacting crucial programs like the Famine Early Warning Systems Network, essential for tracking global food security. As reports of USAID employees being locked out of systems grow, stakeholders express grave concern over the potential for mass casualties among those reliant on aid, with fears that thousands could perish due to lost funding and support during dire humanitarian crises.
"It's the richest person in the world taking away from the poorest people in the world. People will die from this - like thousands, if not hundreds of thousands."
"This is a matter of life or death," Beatriz Grinsztejn, president of the International AIDS Society, highlighted the gravity of halting international aid during a crisis.
