An American-made hunger crisis. A worsening cholera epidemic.

Last summer, reporters Brett Murphy and Anna Barry-Jester journeyed to refugee camps in Kenya and South Sudan, some of the places most devastated by President Donald Trump’s dismantling of foreign aid. They spoke to hundreds of government and aid officials, as well as refugees, who witnessed and experienced how political appointees cut programs in arbitrary ways.

Trump's foreign aid ban will target abortion, DEI and gender identity

The Trump administration is expanding its ban on U.S. foreign aid for groups supporting abortion services to include assistance going to international and domestic organizations and agencies that promote gender identity as well as diversity, equity and inclusion programs. An administration official said Thursday that the State Department would release final rules that expand the scope of a policy first established under President Ronald Reagan. It's already severely reduced assistance to international organizations that provide abortion-related care. The official says the expanded policy would apply to more than $30 billion in foreign aid that the U.S. provides. Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson says the change "puts politics between people and their care.”
