Secretary of State Marco Rubio's recent announcement regarding exemptions for lifesaving humanitarian aid from a freeze on foreign aid has run into complications. U.S.A.I.D. officials received directives halting further approvals for lifesaving programs. Although some waivers have been issued, the agency's payment system, Phoenix, has been inaccessible, complicating financial disbursements. This situation has left many vital health and aid programs struggling to continue. Elon Musk suggested that Ebola and H.I.V. prevention funding had been reactivated, but on-the-ground reports indicate that much of this funding remains frozen, challenging global health efforts.
