I have just watched an old episode of The Surgery Ship filmed in 2016 in Benin, Africa about the Mercy Ships volunteer organisation and the work they do in trying to help people with major medical issues. A lot of those issues would never have progressed to such an extreme level if poverty, malnutrition and the lack of proper medical services were not so critical in African countries. And then I was sitting there thinking terrible thoughts about the cuts made to USAID by Trump and Musk.

It makes me so angry, to see so much suffering which could be alleviated but two rich oligarchs are too busy feathering their own nests and building up their own personal profiles.
