It said it had saved exactly $318,310,328.30.

#Musk’s group has now triggered mass #firings across the government, & sharp cutbacks in #humanitarian #aid around the world. Musk has justified those disruptions with two promises: that the group would be transparent, & that it would achieve budget cuts that others called impossible.

Now, watching the group pare back its aims & puff up its progress, some of its allies have grown doubtful about both.

"Yet here we are, still exporting raw materials like colonial-era vassals while begging for aid from the same countries that profit from our resources."

Africa doesn’t need aid. It needs control over its critical minerals.

The situation in Gaza is now absolutely catastrophic: OCHA

More than 400,000 people have now been displaced in just over three weeks.

A massive shortage of water and water facilities have been damaged and destroyed, leading to absolutely appalling hygiene conditions.

Absolutely zero supplies have come in in over 40 days, which means OCHA is running out of everything, including critical medical and trauma supplies.

A timeline of Israel’s weaponisation of aid to Gaza

Israel has repeatedly used food and international humanitarian aid as a tool of collective pressure against Palestinians over 17 months of its devastating war on the Gaza Strip.

Civilians in the enclave have been subjected to extreme food shortages and famine-like conditions throughout the war. Dozens of children have died of starvation.
