The Trump administration has implemented a freeze on nearly all new foreign assistance funding, affecting crucial health initiatives like the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Exceptions have been made for allies such as Israel and Egypt and for emergency food programs. This move has alarmed humanitarian organizations, which warn that the funding freeze could lead to increased instability and loss of life among vulnerable communities. The freeze is set to last at least three months, during which Secretary Marco Rubio will evaluate the future of existing programs.
