The Trump administration’s decision is likely to withdraw external aid and dismantle the United States Agency for International Development to huge human suffering, according to the agency’s estimates. among them:
-
Up to 18 million additional cases of malaria annually, and up to 166,000 additional deaths;
-
200,000 children paralyzed annually, and hundreds of millions of infections;
-
A million children are not treated for severe acute malnutrition, which is often fatal, every year;
-
More than 28,000 new cases of infectious diseases such as Ebola and Marburg every year.
These bright expectations were placed in a series of notes by Nicholas Enrich, a global health official at the United States Agency for International Development, which was obtained by the New York Times. Mr. Tresh was placed on an administrative vacation on Sunday.
In one of the notes, he blamed these potential health crises on “the political leadership of the US Agency for International Development, the Ministry of State, and Doua, who invented and continued to create deliberate and/or unintended obstacles that were fully prevented from aid programs.”
Mr. Terry wrote that the payment systems have created payment systems, created new and ineffective payments, and a continuous guidance regarding qualified activities.
Another note describes the Agency’s global health strength from 783 on January 20 to less than 70 on Sunday.
In an interview, Mr. Trich said that he issued the notes on Sunday afternoon, after an email arrived to put it on leave, to record the record on the discrimination of the United States Agency for International Development and the end of thousands of granting life saving.
By detailing the series behind the scenes, he hoped, “It would be clear that we have never given the opportunity to implement life -saving humanitarian assistance.”
Officials at the Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to the request for comment.
In January, the Trump administration froze funds for external aid. On January 28, Foreign Minister Marco Rubio issued a temporary concession to life -saving humanitarian assistance.
But a little money has already been delivered, as relief programs are closed around the world and hundreds of organizations are forced to leave or firefighters.
However, employees of the US International Development Agency for World Health tried to remain optimistic and “do everything in our power” to carry out exemptions.
But on Wednesday, the Trump administration suddenly ended about 5,800 projects funded by the United States Agency for International Development, including many who received exemptions.
“It was finally clear that we will not be implemented according to this concession,” said Mr. Trich.
“I needed myself and all the employees who were in their hearts to do so – we needed records to show what happened,” he said.
Mr. Trich said that he was hoping to collect another note, indicating the ways he and others conveyed the risks of disrupting the decisive programs of Mark Lloyd and Tim Mysperger, who are political appointed in the agency. But they have repeatedly asked for more details to justify programs.
“It is clear that the Trump administration is well aware that it violates the orders of the court and not to provide help from saving life, as it claimed that it is funding under a waiver,” said Matthew Kavanag, Director of the Georgetown University Center for World Health and Policy Policy.
“Unless this is reflected, this will cost millions of lives, by holding the private government,” added Dr. Cavanag.
According to Mr. Trit’s memo, other devastating effects can include the outbreaks of MPOX and bird flu, including up to 105 million cases in the United States alone, mothers and children’s deaths in 48 countries, and a 30 percent increase in drug -resistant tuberculosis.
Mr. Trit’s memo warned that the disorder in tuberculosis programs abroad will lead to more patients in the United States. Treatment of one patient with multiple drug tuberculosis costs more than $ 154,000 in the United States.
(The Trump administration is said to be plans that are preparing to restore immigrants on the basis that they may bring tuberculosis to the country.)
Notes also notice the disruption of the effort to contain Ebola in Uganda.
In 2014, Ebola One patient in New York cost the city of the city $ 4.3 million in response measures. It seems that the outbreak of the disease in Uganda descends, but a A 4 -year -old boy died Earlier in the week, indicating that the virus was still circulating.
The consequences may exceed human health and affect American companies – including agriculture – and families by increasing health care costs, disrupting international trade and stressful local resources.
The memorandum notes that the mother and child health programs and nutrition can settle the economy and political climate in other countries.
Dr. Cavanagh said: “Article 1 of the Constitution gives Congress the authority to establish or remove agencies and delegate spending, not the president.”
By dismantling the American Agency for International Development and ending its programs, the Trump administration is not only “the risk of death for millions of most marginalized all over the world, but it raises a constitutional crisis in the service of cruelty,” added Dr. Cavanag.
