Description
The despair is palpable in Dr. Ekiru Kidalio’s voice. “Everything was stopped,” he says. The director of a hospital in Kenya’s poorest northern county of Turkana, is talking about the far-reaching effects of President Donald Trump's administration cuts in USAID, the American fund which provided 42-percent of the world's humanitarian aid. “Workers were laid off, and then the commodities,” says Kidalio who also worries about the rise and spread of diseases like HIV and measles because of a lack of life-saving drugs and vaccines.
