Cuts from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency have led to deaths among children in African nations. Care workers report that a freeze on foreign aid from the U.S. Agency for International Development has resulted in tragic outcomes. One case involved a 10-year-old boy in South Sudan who died from pneumonia after losing access to vital medications. Other children, including an 8-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy, have also died due to the aid cuts. Healthcare workers warn that more children are at risk as access to life-saving treatments continues to decline. The situation highlights the severe impact of the funding freeze on vulnerable populations.
