USAID Cuts Spark Deaths in Malawi and Somalia

USAID Cuts Spark Deaths in Malawi and Somalia

USAID is a U.S. agency that helps poor countries.

In Malawi, a company that gave ambulances stopped working after USAID cut its money.

A 25‑year‑old woman named Prudence died because she couldn’t get to a hospital in time.

In Somalia, many child‑care clinics closed because of the same cuts.

More children were taken to hospitals, but some still died.

The article says that if the transport and clinics had stayed open, some people might have survived.
