US EditionUSAID cuts may cause over 14 million additional deaths by 2030, study says
- The Trump administration canceled 83% of USAID programs in early 2025, drastically cutting foreign aid worldwide.
- These cuts followed a January executive order freezing foreign aid unless aligned with U.S. foreign policy.
- The funding interruptions halted clinics and food kitchens, delayed supplies like Plumpy'Nut, and worsened crises including Sudan's cholera outbreak.
- A study published in The Lancet projected that more than 14 million lives could be lost over the next five years due to cuts in funding, including the deaths of 4.5 million children under the age of five.
- This suggests severe global health consequences unless funding restores, with experts urging renewed U.S. support to avert widespread suffering.
