Our hearts are with Myanmar today. Also filled with tremendous sorrow and shame for our country that USAID isn't there to help.

Was just telling my kids this. They now want to use their allowance money to help. 🥹
Trump announces humanitarian aid package for earthquake victims. Aid will arrive just as soon as the Junta signs the minerals deal.*

Heartbreaking
Hell America doesn’t even take care of their own tornado victims!
China and India sending aid....where's trump and musk ? Not even a word from them. No effort to assist in this monumental disaster. Incredibly embarrassing.
My heart is filled with nothing but sorrow. Think of the food, medicine, blankets, anything to provide comfort to those in despair.
There was a judge order to halt additional firings - what's the status? Is the administration disobeying this order with this action??
💔
Maybe the plan is for Musk to re-route the money given for votes and send over a billion to help these poor people?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you mean well but won't happen, musk, trump and thugs prioritise buying themselves bigger boats and 'planes.
So bad even here in South Sudan we are struggling with life,no food,no sleep,the battle is still moving forward and it's hitting us !
Please help help us please!😭😭
And creating an even bigger hotspot for terrorism to take hold.
💔
I did work for a bit on behalf of USAID. I saw the GOOD it did. Those folks care. And what we see as a relatively small investment meant SO much to those on the receiving end. It was about the opportunities it created. This is symbolic of everything that's wrong with this country right now.
You can be sure that China will turn up as part of their soft power initiative.
Myanmar’s military government reported 144 deaths and 732 injuries, but the true scale of the casualties remains difficult to determine.
Please don't tell me that US had an earthquake station & Dodge cut off Earth Quake Monitoring to the Pacific
Are there any agency’s that people can donate to that will help?
Maybe Myanmar Red Cross Society?
World Central Kitchen and Doctors Without Borders, Red Cross, or Red Crescent, IRC, are all solid places to donate
For safety, will they be coordinating with the UN? Others?
Don’t have those details but these orgs are usually active at disasters.
Maybe Doctors Without Borders?
I doubt trump and thugs will lose much sleep over the plight in Myanmar or care there is now no USAID
Tragic for the people of Myanmar and for the American people not to be able to help because of two, Musk and Trump, heartless people.
So awful. A 30 story building under construction also collapsed in Bangkok. Where is the US? What the hell happened to my country? Not responding to this is obscene.

tRump's actions in gutting USAID are thoroughly reprehensible, and this will leave many suffering and dying.
Other good countries will have to step in in the meantime and they will. We will be put on the trash heap in their minds. Which is where we belong for not helping. But the other good countries will step in. They always do.
It's not just the 'good' countries, it's the countries that recognise that soft power is one of the greatest tools in this world. It's benevolent neocolonialism.
The current administration will be celebrating.
I worked in OFDA at USAID, I can’t tell you how sad and angry I am that we are not there to help and leverage more support from the international community. The rapacious and corrupt junta running the country is unable and unwilling to help. And neither are Myanmar’s rulers!
US is such an international embarressment. Normally we would have been on our way to help; people counting on us. Now, nothing.
China will fill that gap 🙄
Isn’t Burma run by a brutal dictatorial regime that hates America?
💔💔💔💔💔
It's so sad...
Very sad
Because of the Trump administration
Not the American people
😰😰😰
USAID has been systematically hollowed out. First under Trump, who tried to fold it into the State Department and gutted its budget. Then under Biden, who didn’t rebuild what had been dismantled.

Can you get the author to correct the above incorrect reporting?
Considering the damage 45 did in his first term, Biden did really well.
Covid was a HUGE problem & Biden concentrated on that.
He’s not a magician, he tried his best & rebuilding always takes much longer than knocking things down.
We've been getting a new pile of cheapass troll accounts this weekend... like that "nmnoel" thing. They're everywhere. Very annoying.
Maybe he can go toss some paper towels at them?
China will come to the rescue and make AmeriKa look even more ridiculous. 😐
Correct, and china will start spreading it's influence as it will in all those countries where trump and thugs have pulled out the aid.
Tremendous shame is right. We used to lead.

Now we follow Trump & Musks demented GRIFTS, and the will of Russia handlers.

We've lost our place in the world thanks to these people and the dimwits who voted for the carnage thinking it would only affect other people they don't care about.
The U.S. is known for our use of military might or our reliability during times of crisis and disaster.

Loved as much as feared in the world.

Unfortunately, because of Trump and his Republican Party, we can no longer be trusted as reliable partners in crisis or disaster.

Sadly, leaving only fear.
😟 I hate this for them and I hate we can’t help when we’re perfectly capable
I am so so sorry Myanmar.
Also filled with sorrow and shame that USAID isn’t there to help
