More than a year after President Trump slashed U.S. humanitarian and development aid at the urging of billionaire Elon Musk, the deadly consequences continue to grow.
These politically driven cuts dismantled major aid operations and left millions of people around the world without adequate access to food, clean water, and health care—all while Musk’s personal wealth soared to more than $500 billion.
Estimates indicate that more than 700,000 people have lost their lives as a result of the Trump administration’s reckless actions. Recent Oxfam analysis warns that a child under five could die every forty seconds by 2030 due to U.S. aid cuts.
Humanitarian aid is one of the most effective tools for reducing global poverty and preventing famine. For decades, it represented less than one percent of the federal budget—before the Trump administration dismantled it.
