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.

    lemmy guess, single-issue voters

    No, according to one of them they thought the country needed fixing, and he’s the one to do it. Wrong direction, pricing, that sort of thing.

    I think they were religiously anti-woke, but didn’t want to come out and say it straight.

    Funny enough, they were one of those who does missionary work. I plan on asking them again after the USAID changes filters down and affects people more forcefully.
