The State Department reaffirmed its decision to uphold the foreign aid freeze initiated by the Trump administration, despite concerns raised by humanitarian officials about the potential risks it poses to vulnerable populations.
A recent media note released by the State Department indicated that a waiver had been granted for humanitarian aid, specifically for life-saving assistance such as medicine, medical services, food, shelter, and subsistence support. However, some humanitarian organizations reported that they had not received official notification of this waiver, leading to a temporary halt in their operations.
