In this news brief, Miranda gives an update regarding one of Trump's most recent executive orders to pause federal funding for USAID. While the executive order only pauses funding for 90 days, Miranda discusses how it has already had damaging impacts across several humanitarian crises, including food relief in Sudan and essential health services in Pakistan and Bangladesh. Miranda also emphasizes that for already struggling refugee communities, political pressure in the coming weeks will determine if this policy can be reversed and the damage can be undone.
