USAID contracts worth $60 billion in humanitarian work to be terminated.

International Rescue Committee calls termination of contracts "a devastating blow" "The toll, the human lives that will be lost, is unfathomable," says CEO of Alight , an international aid organization.

"We are no longer the shining city on a hill," says one humanitarian leader.

International Medical Corps is one of the largest first responder and disaster relief organizations in the world.

The IMC received cancellation notices for "the majority of our U.S. government-funded programs" last night .

Global Refuge , formerly Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service , said the termination of their contracts "seeks to end America 's longstanding religious tradition of helping the least among us".
