WHAT HAPPENED
A United States decision to slash its foreign aid program has resulted in a surge of deaths among pregnant women and babies in Nepal, according to a report by the Associated Press dated August 13 2026. The cuts followed President Donald Trump’s 2025 elimination of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the world’s largest humanitarian donor.
The AP report notes that the funding cuts closed nutrition and reproductive outreach programs in Nepal that were designed to protect mothers and infants. Health workers, government officials, aid workers and families in Nepal report that the loss of these services has had a devastating and deadly impact. In contrast, the U.S. State Department states it continues to support maternal and child‑health programs in the country.
The withdrawal of USAID funding has decimated maternal and child‑health initiatives worldwide, making Nepal a stark example of the global consequences of the U.S. aid cuts.
- USAID cuts closed nutrition and reproductive outreach programs in Nepal.
- AP reports increased deaths of pregnant women and babies.
- Local health workers and families report a devastating impact.
- The U.S. State Department claims continued support for maternal and child health programs.
