Summary

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

Mana Nutritionā€™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 Rubioā€™s claims that ā€œlifesaving humanitarian assistanceā€ 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 ā€œwokenessā€ or ā€œwaste,ā€ instead showing a reckless abandonment of Americaā€™s global humanitarian commitments.

        Itā€™s the title of the article. The person posting the article here didnā€™t chose the article title. They could have found an alternative source with a better headline, but if we start doing that weā€™re going to miss out on some important news because some people are lazy or some news isnā€™t covered everywhere, Iā€™m guessing.
