6 million people could die from HIV, AIDS amid USAID funding freeze, UN warns

More than six million people could die from HIV and AIDS over the next four years if the U.S. government pulls its global funding for prevention and relief programs, the United Nations (UN) AIDS agency warned Friday. “We’re seeing a lot of disruption of delivery treatment services, especially at the community level,” said UNAIDS deputy executive director Christine Stegling. Stegling’s comments come as demonstrators blocked Washington, D.C., streets to protest funding cuts to the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). More than half of the program’s grants are administered by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). USAID has been a target of government reorganization and the administration has said it plans to keep less than 300 out of thousands of agency staff. RELATED: https://globalnews.ca/news/11005788/u...
