Trump has ordered 550 tons of emergency food aid—enough to feed 1.5 million malnourished children for a week—to be incinerated tomorrow rather than be distributed as part of its ongoing purge of USAID.
The “high-energy biscuits,” intended for children under five living in war and disaster zones, are currently being stored in a warehouse in Dubai and were meant to be shipped out this year, but will instead go to waste due to cuts by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effectively halting nearly all forms of foreign aid.
Current and former aid workers, speaking anonymously for fear of retaliation, told The Atlantic that the sheer scale of waste is unprecedented.
Despite repeated assurances from the administration not to eliminate food aid, U.S. warehouses around the world currently house 60,000 tons of food, including peas and cereal originally bound for famine-stricken Sudan, which the administration is now unable to deliver even if it wanted to after gutting USAID and firing logistical experts.
According to The Atlantic , the amount of food set to be incinerated tomorrow would be enough to feed every single child currently starving in Gaza.
Hizo zitafika kwa hizi skreets zetu very soon same way some protein powder zilikua huku in yuge supply sometime back between 2008 & 2009 from wherever.
That AID is what kept communities dependent and poor. It only benefitted the USAID staff who lived large with huge salaries, mansions and 4x4s. Lets see how many kids will die if they dont get the so called “high energy biscuits”.
You know living in your kennel pale kiambu you can’t understand what a war torn country children faces . Those high energy biscuits can save a life at Gaza , Sudan and other war zones across the world
But cousin you are comfortable eating giggers proteins the way mbaruya feast on kumbekumbe and drinking water from mt Kenya streams . Thank God
