Musk’s USAID Shutdown: Predicted Deaths Amidst Growing Fascism
Elon Musk’s shutdown of USAID, at President Trump’s behest, has caused a global humanitarian crisis. The immediate consequences include blocked vital medical supplies in Sudan and the DRC, resulting in malnutrition and preventable deaths. Hundreds of thousands of children have lost access to school meals, and numerous health and education programs have been terminated. This action, described as an “extinction-level event” for the sector, threatens to destabilize global aid efforts and severely impact vulnerable populations worldwide. The freeze also jeopardizes women’s health, with thousands of preventable maternal deaths predicted.
