The article highlights the significant impact of the Trump administration's drastic cuts to foreign aid, eliminating over 90% of contracts and approximately $60 billion in funding. The abrupt termination of these contracts has halted crucial programs in various countries, leaving millions without necessary health care and food assistance. Notably affected regions include Congo and Ethiopia, where thousands of vulnerable children and families will face dire consequences due to the loss of support from U.S. agencies. The cuts are poised to exacerbate existing issues like malnutrition, health crises, and instability.
Countries around the world already are feeling the impact of the Trump administration's decision to eliminate more than 90% of foreign aid contracts and cut some $60 billion in funding.
Many of the programs are in fragile countries that are highly reliant on U.S. aid to support health systems, nutrition programs and stave off starvation.
In Congo, aid group Action Against Hunger will stop treating tens of thousands of malnourished children from May, which the charity said will put the children in mortal danger.
In Ethiopia, food assistance stopped for more than 1 million people, according to the Tigray Disaster Risk Management Commission.
