'My wife died giving birth after Trump cut funding to our clinic'
by Yogita Limaye - South Asia and Afghanistan correspondent
September 15, 2025


When Shahnaz went into labour, her husband Abdul called a taxi to take them to the only medical facility accessible to them.

"She was in a lot pain," he says.

A 20-minute drive away, the clinic was in Shesh Pol village in Afghanistan's north-eastern Badakhshan province. It was where their two older children were born.

Abdul sat next to Shahnaz comforting her as they drove over gravel tracks to reach help.

"But when we reached the clinic, we saw that it was closed. I didn't know it had shut down," he said, his face crumpling with agony.

Warning: Readers may find some details in this article distressing.

The clinic in Shesh Pol is one of more than 400 medical facilities that closed down in Afghanistan, one of the world's poorest countries, after the Trump administration cut nearly all US aid to the country earlier this year, in a drastic and abrupt move following the dismantling of the US Agency for International Development (USAID).

A single-storey structure with four small rooms, white paint peeling off its walls, the Shesh Pol clinic has USAID posters tacked up everywhere with information and guidance for pregnant women and new mothers.

You Cannot Hate These MSM Fu*kers Enough!!!!!

Thanks to people like Corinthians420 Afghanistan has been funded to Israel levels.


That’s the type of conservatism the right ruined. As he would say.

The Taliban caused that. But they’d kill you if you blamed them.


And you can thank Joe Biden too.

Not the USA. Don't care. They can take care of their own.

We’re $37,000,000,000,000 in debt. I don’t care what he cuts funding for, as long as he cuts funding. Consequences of NOT cutting will be far worse.
