The freeze on international aid by the current Administration remains a critical issue for the Church in mission. In a recent statement, Caritas Internationalis warns that, “Stopping USAID will jeopardise essential services for hundreds of millions of people, undermine decades of progress in humanitarian and development assistance, destabilise regions that rely on this critical support, and condemn millions to dehumanizing poverty or even death.”
USCMA echoes the call of the US Bishops to halt the funding freeze and resume foreign aid programs.
