USAID cuts in Ethiopia mean dying "in silence"
Posted on 2025-03-13 17:15:13
And in international news...

Aid agencies in Ethiopia are being forced to stop feeding millions of people
because of the US Trump administration's restrictions on foreign aid.

They say there's no money for fuel, trucks, and drivers to distribute
existing stockpiles of food because of the cuts to USAID.

Ethiopia's Tigray region saw war from 2020 to 2022, with the domestic
government greatly reducing aid, before the US and UN grain distributions
were halted for months over internal issues.

The country of over 125 million people has been a major beneficiary of US aid
in Africa, leading many to believe that the USAID cuts will spurn even more
cases of malnutrition and disease.

In addition to food, funds were also spent on HIV medication, vaccines,
literacy programs, and job creation.

The millions of people who depend on humanitarian grain mostly provided by
the US, then?

One resident says, "We will just die in silence."
