Trump ends USAID missions as Ebola outbreak in Uganda raises concerns
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is shutting down missions, raising concerns about the Ebola outbreak in Uganda. The outbreak has six confirmed cases, with more than a dozen Americans exposed. Health officials worry that the pause in U.S. foreign aid will hinder response efforts. The CDC's communication with local health authorities has also been disrupted, complicating coordination efforts. Other organizations, including the WHO and Médecins Sans Frontières, are stepping in to assist. Russia has also launched a mobile lab in Uganda to help with the outbreak response.
