Summary

Elon Musk’s shutdown of USAID has triggered a global humanitarian crisis, blocking life-saving medical supplies, halting food aid, and forcing aid organizations to close.

Experts predict thousands of deaths, especially among women and children, as famine and disease spread.

Trump’s 90-day aid freeze has disrupted critical programs in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, affecting millions.

Critics call the move an “extinction-level event” for humanitarian aid.

So they are mass murderers. Good thing they didn’t rob a convenience store or they’d be in jail for life.
