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.
