"The Trump administration’s decision to withdraw foreign aid and dismantle the
U.S. Agency for International Development is likely to cause enormous human
suffering, according to estimates by the agency itself. Among them:
* up to 18 million additional cases of malaria per year, and as many as 166,000
additional deaths;
* 200,000 children paralyzed with polio annually, and hundreds of millions of
infections;
* one million children not treated for severe acute malnutrition, which is
often fatal, each year;
* more than 28,000 new cases of such infectious diseases as Ebola and Marburg
every year.
Those stark projections were laid out in a series of memos by Nicholas Enrich,
acting assistant administrator for global health at U.S.A.I.D., which were
obtained by
The New York Times. Mr. Enrich was placed on administrative leave
on Sunday."
