LINK Trump's Cuts To USAID Funding Have Palestinian Women Scrambling To Treat Their Breast Cancer

Murderous bastard!

Women confronting breast cancer are being hit hard after the Trump administration stopped USAID programs benefiting Palestinians, say aid groups, doctors, health care workers, and patients.

The US effectively stopped government aid programs benefiting Palestinians in February, and humanitarian aid groups and hospital administrators in Gaza and Jerusalem say aid cuts are doing serious harm to vulnerable patients at a time when health care systems used by Palestinians are already heavily strained.

Aid funding from the US totaling hundreds of millions of dollars benefiting Palestinians were cut off last year before Washington effectively ended aid to the West Bank and Gaza last month, moves critics say have had a devastating impact on health care programs, politicizing human health.

Among the programs stopped as a result of the cuts is one that was optimistically dubbed Gaza Health Matters 2020, a $50 million project that was supposed to run for five years, providing prenatal care for Palestinian women, treating the injured in Gaza, and funding mammograms and biopsies for women.

Doing Bibi's bidding. Netanyahu is all about hurting Palestinians, and trump is helping him.

Anyone supporting israel thinks Palestinians have no value. It's an ongoing cruelty that breaks my heart.

This has nothing to do with Israel, just Trump finding another way to screw over everyone he hates..
