Due to funding cuts from the US government, approximately 60,000 metric tons of food, capable of feeding 3.5 million people for a month, are stuck in warehouses globally, including Houston, Djibouti, Durban, and Dubai. This situation arose after President Trump cut funding to USAID, leading to the expiration of vital supplies destined for regions like Gaza and Sudan, with reports indicating some food may be destroyed or repurposed as animal feed. With 343 million people facing food insecurity worldwide, the halting of aid contracts has dire implications for those reliant on US assistance, particularly children suffering from malnutrition.
