AI Summary:
Malaria season begins this month in a large part of Africa. No disease is deadlier on the continent, especially for children. But the Trump administration's decision to terminate 90% of USAID's foreign aid contracts has local health officials warning of catastrophe in some of the world's poorest communities. Uganda in 2023 had 12.6 million malaria cases and nearly 16,000 deaths, many of them children under 5 and pregnant women. Some of the USAID funding in Uganda paid for mosquito-spraying operations in remote areas. Malaria accounts for 30% to 50% of outpatient visits to health facilities across the country. The President’s Malaria Initiative has supported Nigeria’s malaria response. In Congo, U.S government funding has contributed about $650 million towards malaria control since 2010. There are already difficult efforts to identify and track disease outbreaks across Congo.

AI Summary:
Panama released dozens of migrants who were held for weeks in a remote camp. They told them they have 30 days to leave the Central American nation. Many like Hayatullah Omagh, 29, fled Afghanistan in 2022 after the Taliban took control. The deportees, largely from Asian countries, were part of a deal stuck between the Trump administration and Panama and Costa Rica. Critics described it as a way for the U.S. To export its deportation process. Under international refugee law people have the right to apply for asylum when they are fleeing conflict or persecution. Omagh was deported after presenting himself to American authorities and asking to seek asylum in the U.S. Panamanian authorities denied accusations about camp conditions, but blocked journalists from accessing the camp. Janetsky: "I still want to continue to go to the United States and fulfill my American dream" she says she'd find a way back to the U.S.
