Donald Trump's executive order to freeze USAid funding for 90 days has caused serious disruptions in Ethiopia, affecting deliveries of food and life-saving medicines. Millions of people are at risk of losing access to essential support, particularly those vulnerable to HIV and sexual violence. Despite receiving over $1 billion in aid in 2023, most programs are struggling without waivers. Local NGO representatives warn that without immediate funding, the situation could escalate into a larger humanitarian crisis, jeopardizing the efforts to stabilize the region during ongoing conflicts.
The abrupt executive order freezing USAid funding has severely impacted Ethiopia's humanitarian operations, leaving vital deliveries and support efforts for millions in jeopardy.
Ahmed Hussein noted that the sudden halt on funding left humanitarian groups scrambling for support, indicating it has direct implications on the lives of millions of Ethiopians.
