On Monday, top officials at U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) were put on leave for allegedly not abiding by President Trump's executive order to freeze much of U.S. foreign aid.

The Mexico City Policy cuts off U.S. aid to health groups in other countries that offer abortion services or counseling. As in 2021, Trump has reinstated this policy, which was deactivated by Biden.

Following Trump's Monday freeze on foreign aid, a subsequent memo calls for for a stop-work order for current grants and contracts.

When Donald Trump returns to the White House, he's expected to issue a series of orders with far-reaching impact on global health — from abortion services to support for the World Health Organization.

Hundreds of Syrian refugees in Turkey are making a return to Syria every day, according to the Turkish Interior Ministry. But the majority are waiting to see how the new leadership takes shape.

Syrian refugees in Turkey are considering whether to return home following the ouster of Syrian dictator, Bashar al-Assad. But many remain worried about their country's future.

After Bashar al-Assad's ouster, there are questions about the fate of the Syrian Democratic Forces, the U.S.-backed Kurdish coalition that currently controls a third of Syrian territory.

Turkey is expected to play a major role as the new government takes over ruling Syria. Turkey had shown tacit support for groups fighting the Assad dictatorship.

The Kurdish coalition that controls a third of Syria and helped the US fight ISIS is facing a new reality after the ouster of Bashar al-Assad. NATO ally Turkey sees them as a threat and is demanding the dismantling of Kurdish militia (YPG). And some of the majority Arab civilians who live in Kurdish controlled areas want to be governed by the rebels that took Damascus instead.
