In Somalia, USAID cuts have life-or-death consequences

Season 2026 Episode 231 | 9m 49s

Since the Trump administration began its reductions to foreign aid, we've brought you reports from around the world on the consequences. Wracked by conflict for decades and suffering the cruel effects of the climate crisis, Somalia is perpetually in need. In partnership with the Pulitzer Center, Neha Wadekar and Ed Ram show how the cuts are affecting some of the world’s most vulnerable people.
