The USAID website was subsequently taken offline.Tech billionaire and core Trump ally Elon Musk, who has led efforts to slash federal programmes and departments with little to no oversight, has previously labelled the agency a \u201ccriminal organisation\u201d that should \u201cdie\u201d. He has provided no evidence to support his claims, which have been vigorously denied by the agency and those involved with its work.Euronews has contacted the US Department of State and the WFP for comment.Who is affected?Syria, which is facing deep poverty and hunger following a 13-year civil war, has lost some $230 million (\u20ac210 million) in contracts with WFP and humanitarian groups in recent days, according to a State Department document obtained by the Associated Press.\u00a0According to the report, the largest scheme cut was a $111 million (\u20ac101 million) programme providing bread and other daily food to 1.5 million people.The news agency also cited a UN worker saying that US aid to WFP food programmes across war-torn Yemen, which is battling one of the world\u2019s most acute humanitarian disasters, has also been terminated.Key relief schemes in Somalia, Afghanistan and Zimbabwe have also been hit, including schemes providing food, water, medical care and shelter for people displaced by war, a US official told the news agency.Some $560 million (\u20ac512 million) in humanitarian funding to Afghanistan has been terminated, affecting the provision of emergency food aid and drinking water.\u00a0Programmes to save severely malnourished babies, vital medical care, and emergency mental health treatment for survivors of sexual and physical violence in the country were also cut.\u00a0ADVERTISEMENTThe administration has pulled funding for a programme to send young Afghan women overseas to study due to the Taliban government’s prohibitions on women\u2019s education. A source on the programme told AP that as a result, young women on this scheme will be forced to return to Afghanistan, where their lives would be in danger.The Taliban has imposed draconian restrictions on women\u2019s rights since returning to power in 2021.The latest cuts come after the WFP said last week that supplies for hot meals in Gaza would last a maximum of two weeks, while all the organisation’s bakeries had been shuttered due to a lack of flour and food. It added that it was distributing its final food parcels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
