The State Department official who oversaw the dismantling of USAID has left the agency after less than three months on the job. Under Pete Marocco’s watch, over 80% of USAID’s programs have been canceled and the bulk of its staff fired. The cuts have already led to deaths in some countries as health experts warn many more are to be expected due to cuts in essential services including vaccines and other preventive healthcare. Last week, the World Food Programme called U.S. cuts to emergency food assistance “a death sentence for millions.”
