Elon Musk joked at a cabinet meeting that USAID had "accidentally canceled" Ebola prevention.

The aid response from the United States has been severely curtailed by the destruction of the country’s largest foreign aid arm.

Over the past month , DOGE has overseen the dismantling of USAID , first placing on administrative leave and then laying off the vast majority of its workers, and freezing funding for contractors implementing its programs.

The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation , a non-profit that often receives funding from USAID and works with PEPFAR , got notice on Wednesday that three of its project agreements with USAID had been terminated.

The programs support over 350,000 patients in Lesotho , Eswatini , and Tanzania , including 10,000 children.

Meanwhile, a new hemorrhagic fever has emerged in the Democratic Republic of the Congo , with over 60 people already dead.
