Canadian aid workers warn 'catastrophic' USAID halt puts Ottawa's projects in limbo

The article from MSN discusses the severe impact of the U.S. halting its foreign aid programs on Canadian aid workers and projects. The suspension of USAID funding, which was part of a broader U.S. government spending bill, has left numerous Canadian NGOs in a precarious position, with projects in countries like Ukraine, Haiti, and Ethiopia now in limbo.

Canadian aid workers are particularly concerned about the ripple effects, including job losses, the inability to continue critical humanitarian work, and the potential for increased instability in regions dependent on this aid. The article highlights the frustration and uncertainty among Canadian NGOs, as they navigate this sudden funding cut, urging Ottawa to step in and provide alternative support to keep these vital programs alive.
