As reported by “NBN” with reference to the material of The Washington Post, the day before, on January 28, Secretary of State Marco Rubio instructed the US State Department to temporarily extend the process of funding humanitarian programs that “save lives.”
In particular, the above-described exception affected projects/programs within the framework of which the US ensures the provision of “essential life-saving medicines, medical services, food, shelter, and the means of subsistence.”
However, the State Department left in effect the restrictions that affected programs related to abortion, gender identity, support for transgender individuals, and everything that is “not related to saving lives.” life.”
Based on Rubio's words, it was said that such humanitarian aid programs would either be able to continue to function fully or would resume their activities after being “suspended.”
However, representatives of many humanitarian organizations that received notification from Rubio still did not understand whether they should continue their work in the hope of receiving US funding.
