The World Food Program, the largest provider of food aid, attracted the U.S. to back off new cuts in social media posts on Monday. According to documents obtained by two U.S. United Nations officials and the Associated Press, the unexpected contract canceled a round of canceling the last remaining humanitarian program against the U.S. international development agencies.
“This could be the death penalty for millions of people facing extreme hunger and hunger.”
The agency said it is in contact with the Trump administration “urging continued support for the Life Program” and thanks the U.S. and other donors for past donations.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other government officials have pledged to cut emergency food programs and other final death aid from in-depth foreign aid. No comments were made immediately on Monday.
The project was cancelled under the guidance of Jeremy Lewin, a senior lieutenant of Elon Musk’s government efficiency department, under the termination notice to the partners and was deemed by the Associated Press.
According to a detailed note, the Trump administration’s plan to target poverty, hunger and insecurity in Syria has been terminated in recent days after 13 years of civil war and insurgency by the ISIS group.
The largest of the targeted Syrian plan is $111 million, providing bread and other daily food to 1.5 million people, the document said.
There have been about 60 letters canceling contracts in the past week. A UN official in the Middle East said all U.S. aid to Yemen’s WFP food program, another war-bound country facing one of the world’s worst humanitarian disasters, has ceased, apparently including food that has arrived at distribution centers.
UN officials said WFP also received letters of dismissal from U.S.-funded programs in Lebanon and Jordan, and Syrian refugees will be hit the hardest.
Some of the remaining U.S. funds for major programs in Somalia, Afghanistan and southern African country Zimbabwe, also suffered, including those displaced for the war, including those displaced for food, water, health care and shelters.
Officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they did not have the right to comment publicly.
About $560 million in humanitarian aid has been cut to Afghanistan, including emergency food assistance, severely malnourished babies, life-saving health care, safe drinking water, and emergency mental health treatment for survivors of sexual and physical violence.
An executive of the program run by Texas A&M University said another notice issued Friday suddenly provided Congress with a plan that received strong support in Congress that sent young women overseas to school due to the Taliban’s ban on women’s education.
The administrator said that now young women will return to Afghanistan and their lives will be at risk, and these administrators do not have the right to speak publicly and on anonymity.
According to the humanitarian community, the sudden end of the greater impact of cutting aid threatens some of the world’s most vulnerable populations, many of whom rely on this food aid. The United States and other donors have long struggled to mitigate the humanitarian crisis by blocking strategic interests of mass immigration, conflict and extremism, which can bring a fight to resources.
WFP chief Cindy McCain said in an article on social media that cuts “destroy global stability.”
Rubio informed Congress and the court last month that the U.S. Agency for International Development’s contract cuts were over, with about 1,000 plans retained worldwide and more than 5,000 other plans being eliminated. This adds to the shock of the new incision.
The Trump administration accused the U.S. Agency for wasting and promoting the cause of liberalism.
Trump’s freeze on all foreign aid through the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department led to a brief closure at the al-hol camp, where thousands of alleged ISIS fighters and their families were warned.
The closure has raised concerns about a camp uprising or breakthrough. U.S. officials quickly intervened to resume services.
The State Department documents obtained by the AP identified two new termination contracts operated by Save Children and UNFPA, which provide mental health services and other care for women and children in Al-Hol. It is not clear whether the campsite has been affected by other services.
The United States was once a major funder of WFP, $4.5 billion of the $9.8 billion donated to food institutions last year.
