In testimony before Congress, Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed that no lives had been lost due to cuts in U.S. foreign aid, particularly affecting global health programs. However, Mariam Mohammed, a mother from Nigeria, lost her son, Babagana, due to disruptions in aid that closed their local clinic, highlighting the severe consequences of U.S. foreign assistance cancellations. Babagana was unable to receive timely medical care, leading to his tragic death from complications related to his sickle cell disease, thus contradicting the assurances given by U.S. officials.
Mariam Mohammed, a widowed mother, shares her grief over the loss of her son Babagana, emphasizing the tragic consequences of U.S. foreign aid cuts.
Despite Secretary Marco Rubio's claims, Mariam's experience highlights the real impact of funding cuts on vulnerable communities relying on foreign aid.
