- Reuters reported on the shutdown of water projects in the world due to the withdrawal of US aid.
Dozens of projects in the fields of water supply and sanitation around the world remained unfinished due to the fact that the United States almost completely stopped its financing. This was reported on July 19 by the Reuters news agency, citing sources.
"Due to the cancellation of funding for hundreds of millions of dollars, since January, workers have put down shovels, left pits half-dug, and building materials unattended," the publication says.
The publication noted that as a result of this decision, millions of people who were promised clean drinking water and reliable sanitation by the United States were left without support.
For example, in Mali, water towers that were designed to provide water to hospitals and schools have been abandoned. In addition, Nepal has suspended the construction of more than 100 drinking water supply systems, and Lebanon has curtailed a project to provide citizens with water and solar energy, Reuters noted.
The Washington Post reported on July 13 that the food and health crisis in Afghanistan has worsened as a result of the reduction in US aid. It is clarified that such shipments almost completely stopped after the return of US President Donald Trump to the White House.
