In a landmark and highly controversial decision, the U.S. government has officially dismantled the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), sparking global concern over the future of international aid and development.
๐ป Key Developments:
๐บ๐ธ Massive layoffs across critical USAID departments

๐๏ธ Limited aid duties to shift under State Department oversigh.
๐ Whatโs at Stake:
Life-saving health efforts: vaccines, disease prevention, maternal care
Emergency relief in war-torn and disaster-hit regions
