Malnutrition treatments halted in Ethiopia due to underfunding, WFP says The World Food Programme suspended malnutrition treatment for 650,000 malnourished women and children in Ethiopia this week due to severe funding shortages, the U.N. agency said, with millions more at risk of losing access to aid.

Just landed in #Ethiopia again after 3 weeks — and this is what I find. Lifesaving malnutrition treatments halted due to underfunding. This is what poor decisions based on dumb ideas lead to: people dying from preventable causes.

The US aid cuts have already left 4 million women and girls without contraception, leading to more maternal deaths. Now the UK follows suit? @Keir_Starmer @DavidLammy this decision is indefensible. #AidCutsKill

Stop TB released a report on effects already seen from the pause in aid. It's about to get worse.

Continuous TB treatment is critical: interruptions can lead to drug resistance, which is much harder - and in many cases impossible - to treat.

HIV infections could jump over 6 times if US support is dropped and not replaced, UNAIDS chief says The head of the U.N. AIDS agency says the number of new HIV infections could jump more than six times by 2029 if American support of the biggest AIDS program is dropped.

UNAIDS @unaids.org leads advocacy and coordination for #HIV response.

UNAIDS' director, Winnie Byanyima, sounded the alarm that aid cuts were projected to lead to a 6-fold increase in new HIV infections and 10-fold increases in deaths.

Amid a month of horrific news, the last 24 hours stand out as the cruelest yet.

9,900 #USAID +State grant awardees received termination notices.

Many of the axed programs had previously been deemed 'life-saving' and received waivers (tho the $ was not flowing).
