Summary

The Trump administration has canceled 90% of USAID’s foreign aid contracts, including critical programs that provide lifesaving therapeutic food to malnourished children.

Mana Nutrition’s CEO reports that ready-to-ship boxes of peanut paste that could save approximately 300,000 children are now stranded in a Georgia warehouse.

Despite Secretary of State Rubio’s claims that “lifesaving humanitarian assistance” would be spared, numerous essential health programs have been terminated, including those preventing diseases like polio, HIV, and Ebola.

These cuts contradict claims about targeting “wokeness” or “waste,” instead showing a reckless abandonment of America’s global humanitarian commitments.

    I personally know Christians who voted for Trump (yeah I know, but bear with me) that would care very much, as they actually do missionary work overseas to help the kind of people that would be affected by this cancellation.

          this license thing is funny and all, but if you get distracted from the conversation if someone accidentally pulls it in a quote then it’s quite counterproductive. we’ve now had 3 posts revolving around it, and still no answer to the original question.

            Well, I’m not a mind reader, and if I had to guess if it was purposeful, or accidental, based on my history here on Lemmy, I’ll consider it purposeful every time.

            Actually I responded, while you were typing your comment. I just wanted to do it in a separate comment, to segregate the two issues being discussed.
