The scrutiny of America's aid programs by Trump and Musk has led to disastrous consequences for the world's poorest, particularly children. USAID's internal chaos has contributed to a severe reduction in aid, leaving emergency feeding centers without necessary resources in Nigeria and putting communities at risk of Ebola in Uganda. The ripple effects of USAID's diminished role are stark, with halted clinical trials and vulnerable populations left without support. These examples highlight the critical importance of a robust aid agency in safeguarding both humanitarian values and national interests against global health threats.
An Ebola outbreak in Uganda has spread to three cities. The Ugandan government has pleaded with medical staff members previously paid by USAID to continue working in the spirit of patriotism as volunteers.
In Sokoto, Nigeria, toddlers are starving because emergency feeding centers supported by USAID have run out of the nutrient-rich paste used to save the lives of severely malnourished children.
