Trump freezing foreign aid leaves people in conflict zones deprived of life saving information, puts the protection of journalists on hold, and gives way to disinformation.

Independent media in conflict zones are especially vulnerable, and the funding freeze means a crisis on top of a crisis.
We see that media in Ukraine and Palestine are hit hard. After the Russian invasion, Ukrainian media’s business models were weakened, which made them rely heavily on foreign funding to survive. As a result, 9 out of 10 media outlets in Ukraine rely on US funding and are on the verge of collapse.
In Palestine, our partner Wattan Media Network shares:
“The situation is disastrous and extremely complicated. We suddenly lost the salaries of 44 out of 75 journalists working at Wattan. We had to lay off 14 journalists yesterday. There is a critical need for immediate support for providing essential equipment, safety support and financial support to enable our journalists to continue reporting and producing human-centered content in both the West Bank and Gaza.”
