A new report finds that global humanitarian aid is failing, with cuts from major donors like the United States and increased attacks on health workers further eroding the system.

Aid groups working to contain the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo say they are facing various challenges, including supply chain shortages, funding cuts, and access issues.

There have been more than 900 suspected and confirmed cases of Ebola, resulting in more than 180 deaths. It's the first major outbreak the Trump Administration drastically cut health aid programs.

The U.S. plans to try to keep Ebola out by keeping citizens who were potentially exposed in Kenya. This has some in Kenya frustrated and others worried it will deter aid workers from helping.

In March 2025, Nicholas Enrich was the top U.S. official for global health when two major events were happening at the same time: The Trump administration was dismantling USAID, and an Ebola outbreak was spreading in Uganda.

Nicholas Enrich worked for the United States Agency for International Development under four administrations and was dismissed after leaking memos detailing plans to shut it down. He writes about the end of USAID — and his role in the response to a 2025 Ebola outbreak — in his new book, Into the Woodchipper: A Whistleblower's Account of How the Trump Administration Shredded USAID.

during his trip to the Gulf, Secretary of State Marco Rubio promised: "We have a whole-of-government response. It'll be big; it'll be fast; and it'll be effective."

Following the earthquakes in Venezuela, the Trump administration announced what appears to be its strongest disaster response since it dismantled America's premier aid agency USAID last year.

Former USAID administrator reflects on a year since USAID's shutdown and the new direction of US foreign aid.

Just days before his arrival in Turkey for the annual NATO summit, President Trump made it clear that in his mind, he and the world's largest defense alliance are not on good terms.
