The Trump administration's cuts to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) funding have raised concerns about severe global humanitarian consequences. Experts and studies estimate that these reductions could lead to approximately 14 million avoidable deaths worldwide over the next five years, including a substantial number of children. A Boston University professor attributed over 330,000 deaths to these cuts so far. USAID's funding has been credited with preventing about 90 million deaths between 2001 and 2021. Additionally, a new UNAIDS report warns that the withdrawal of U.S. funding for global HIV programs could result in more than 4 million AIDS-related deaths and over 6 million new HIV infections by 2029 if alternative funding is not secured. The cessation of American aid has also pushed Afghanistan towards a humanitarian crisis, with $500 million in aid programs terminated, hospitals closed, and rising malnutrition. The World Health Organization and various international bodies have called for sustained global support and renewed investments in HIV prevention, treatment, and research. Critics argue that the aid cuts undermine global health, stability, and U.S. leadership, while humanitarian organizations warn of worsening crises exacerbated by the funding withdrawal.
