131 orgs in Ethiopia—local & international—are now cut off from #USAID funds, leaving critical health & nutrition programs in limbo. This isn't just politics. It’s a direct attack on lives, with public health consequences that will last for years.

#USAID funding supported 15M people in #Ethiopia last year—providing food, sensitive #healthcare, education & more. Now, that funding is frozen. While projects wait for the possibility of “life-saving humanitarian assistance” waivers, lives are not being saved.

This moment demands more than outrage. It demands real, practical solidarity. A solidarity donation to HPA will ensure frontline health programmes can continue to exist, despite the #USAID freeze. It is imperative to ensure that the most marginalised communities aren’t overlooked.

The forced halting of our HIV program in Namibia is just part of the bigger global humanitarian crisis that undermines decades of progress in #GlobalHealth. The decision to freeze #USAID will increase pressure on already fragile healthcare systems, exacerbating injustices and health disparities.

We are witnessing firsthand the devastating impact of the USAID freeze. Health Poverty Action has been forced to halt – amongst other vital projects – our critical HIV program aimed at improving equitable access to services for San people who are HIV positive or at risk of infection in Namibia.

The recent freeze on #USAID funding is a direct assault on the health and dignity of marginalized communities worldwide. Influenced by Elon Musk, this suspension of all USAID will see millions experience disruption of access to essential services including health services, food, and protection.

While global corporate media largely overlooks this disaster, communities in North East Ethiopia have faced over 50 earthquakes in recent months—causing extensive damage and displacing over 50,000 people. Many families have lost the crops and livestock they depend on for sustenance. (1/3)

It's Global Week for Action on NCDs, time to #ActOnNCDs Despite the rising burden of non-communicable diseases in sub-Saharan Africa, policies, programmes, and investments fail to reflect the scale of the crisis. Why the inaction? What can be done? www.healthpovertyaction.org/news-events/...

Very relevant today... Many orgs and celebs hate being on Twitter/X, sustaining Musk's power and voice. But they don't want to abandon their audience. But there’s a simple solution: share each tweet on #Bluesky too. Join the campaign to make it happen: www.healthpovertyactionusa.org/take-action-...
