How have regional budget cuts and administrative changes affected the availability of HIV diagnostic tests?

How does the U.S. aid freeze contribute to the worsening humanitarian crisis in Myanmar?

The WFP's funding crisis in Myanmar is exacerbated by a 90-day freeze on foreign aid from the U.S., a core contributor to food security in the nation. This, coupled with existing shortfalls (only 40% of humanitarian needs funded last year), forces NGOs to close life-saving programs, creating a devastating situation. The conflict between Myanmar's military government and opposing militias, ongoing since February 2021, is a key underlying cause of this humanitarian crisis.
