Last Friday (Jan 24, 2025), the State Department issued a «stop-work» order on all US foreign assistance, worth nearly $70bn a year, with the exception of emergency food aid and military aid to Israel and Egypt, pending a 90-day review to ensure programmes’ alignment with Trump’s «America First» foreign policy

The United States’ system for monitoring famine globally has been taken offline amid President Donald Trump’s order for a 90-day freeze on nearly all US foreign assistance.
The Famine Early Warning System Network (Fewsnet) was established after the 1984 famine in Ethiopia, as part of a worldwide effort to prevent a repeat of its devastating impact.
It was designed by US government agencies, including its international development body USAID and the space agency Nasa.
It is regarded as a gold standard in combining weather data and political analysis to predict drought and food insecurity globally.

Durante estos casi tres años de guerra, la cobertura informativa del conflicto bélico ha variado notablemente en comparación con las primeras semanas, cuando los medios le dedicaban más espacio, pero las visitas al frente eran impensables. Poco a poco, conforme la atención bajaba, mejoraba el acceso al frente y a las historias. El ejército ucraniano ha ido abriendo la mano hasta permitir empotramientos incluso en primera línea, si bien el riesgo es muy elevado. El trabajo de campo, si ya era complicado en una guerra con 800 kilómetros de frente, se ha puesto mucho más difícil con la irrupción masiva de drones.
