A peanut paste was saving Kenyan children - and then Trump took it away
Episode description
Disruptions to U.S. humanitarian aid under president Donald Trump have been devastating to developing nations around the globe - even economically and politically stable nations, like Kenya. On this episode of On Assignment, Reuters East Africa Bureau Chief Ammu Kannampilly travels to Kenya's Turkana County, where malnutrition is spreading, and health workers faced empty shelves for months while aid was paused. She explains the challenges of filling the aid gap and the long-term impacts that could remain even as some aid resumes.
