The article highlights the tragic consequences of funding cuts imposed by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, particularly the impact on USAID grants. Vulnerable children in South Sudan, reliant on vital healthcare support, are experiencing preventable deaths due to these cuts. Specifically, the case of Peter Donde, a 10-year-old boy who died from pneumonia after treatment ceased, exemplifies the dire situation. Outreach worker Moses Labani described how cuts to essential medicines have left children to suffer and die unnecessarily, disproving Musk's claims that no deaths resulted from the aid freeze.
"Peter Donde, a 10-year-old South Sudanese boy, tragically succumbed to pneumonia, a preventable death exacerbated by cuts from the Department of Government Efficiency's freeze on USAID funding."
