US aid freeze leads to suspension of health care to Myanmar refugees in Thailand
- A 90-day freeze on foreign assistance programs announced by U.S. President Donald Trump has led to cuts in services to refugees from war-torn Myanmar, including the shutdown of hospital care in camps in Thailand where more than 100,000 are living, activists and Thai officials said Wednesday.
- Around 80% of the camps’ residents are from the Karen ethnic minority, whose homeland in eastern Myanmar is embroiled in combat.
- Several charity groups and NGOs providing assistance for refugees from Myanmar suspended operations after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued an order halting nearly all existing and new foreign aid.
- The order had an immediate impact, plunging USAID and its scores of partner organizations into uncertainty as Washington is the largest single donor of aid in the world, disbursing $72 billion in assistance during fiscal year 2023.
