Trump’s help reduces the risks caused by 14 million deaths, according to the report

Donald Trump’s movement to reduce most of the United States’s funds towards foreign humanitarian aid could cause more than 14 million additional deaths by 2030, according to Research published in Lancet Medical Magazine on Monday.

The third of those who run the risk of premature deaths are children, according to the investigation.

The Secretary of State of the United States, Marco Rubio, said in March that the administration of President Trump had canceled more than 80% of all programs in the United States Agency for International Development, or USAID.

“For many low and medium -sized income countries, the resulting shock would be comparable to a global pandemic or an important armed conflict,” said Davide Rasella, who was co -author of the Lancet report, in a statement.

Financing reduces “the risk of abruptly stopping, and even reversing, two decades of health progress among vulnerable populations,” added Rasella, a researcher at the Global Health Institute of Barcelona.

The report occurs when dozens of world leaders meet in the Spanish city of Seville this week for an aid conference directed by the United Nations, the largest in a decade.

Looking back on the data of 133 nations, the team of researchers estimated that USAID financing had prevented 91 million deaths in developing countries between 2001 and 2021.

They also used modeling to project how financing was reduced by 83%, the figure announced by the United States government earlier this year could affect mortality rates.

The cuts could lead to more than 14 million avoidable deaths by 2030, they found the projections. That number included more than 4.5 million children under five years old, or around 700,000 children’s deaths per year.

The Trump Administration, directed by the Cost Reduction Initiative of Billionaire Elon Musk, aims to reduce the Federal Labor Force. He has also accused Usaid of supporting liberal projects.

The United States, with much, the world’s largest humanitarian aid provider, operates in more than 60 countries, largely through contractors.

According to Rubio, there were still approximately 1,000 remaining programs that would be administered “more effectively” under the State Department of the United States and in consultation with Congress.

Even so, the situation in the field has not improved, according to UN workers.

Last month, a UN official told the BBC that hundreds of thousands of people were slowly “hungry” in Kenya’s refugee fields after the US funds. UU. They cut food rations reduced to their lower levels.

In a hospital in Kakuma, in the northwest of Kenya, The BBC witnessed A baby who could barely move and showed signs of malnutrition, including the parts of his wrinkled and pelar skin.
