Food for millions wasted after US slashes aid

Food rations funded by U.S. taxpayers—enough to feed 3.5 million people for a month—are moldering in warehouses across the globe due to aid cuts and logistical paralysis under President Donald Trump’s administration. As hunger reaches catastrophic levels in Gaza, Sudan, Nigeria, and beyond, vital supplies risk expiring or being destroyed. Aid organizations, including Edesia, warn of deadly consequences as warehouses overflow and malnourished children are left without life‑saving food. The halted distribution has disrupted global relief efforts, even as the State Department claims waivers are in place for critical regions.
