A new report estimates that the recent cuts to U.S. foreign aid could lead to the deaths of approximately 9,000 people every day, totaling around 3 million lives lost in a year. The analysis highlights that 1.6 million may perish from a lack of HIV/AIDS prevention, 550,000 from food shortages, and 1 million from preventable diseases such as tuberculosis and malaria. These findings underscore the critical reliance on U.S. aid in countries facing dire humanitarian needs, particularly in Eastern and Southern Africa, and raise concerns about the future of such programs.
An average of 9,000 people may die daily due to U.S. foreign aid cuts, with 3 million predicted fatalities over the next year, especially in vulnerable regions.
The U.S. is the largest provider of foreign aid, and without its support, other donors may not suffice, leading to a significant humanitarian crisis.
