US aid cuts leave food for millions moldering in storage
Food rations that could supply 3.5 million people for a month are moldering in warehouses around the world because of US aid cuts and risk becoming unusable, according to five people familiar with the situation. The food stocks have been stuck inside four US government warehouses since the Trump administration's decision in January to cut global aid programs, according to three people who previously worked at the US Agency for International Development and two sources from other aid organizations. The warehouses, which are run by USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA), contain between 60,000 to 66,000 metric tons of food, sourced from American farmers and manufacturers, the five people said.
