Hear from these voices and others in our latest @NewsHour report: Trump’s mass deportation campaign takes a toll on college students

[Under-Told Stories @UnderTold]

For students like Miguel Perez Espinoza, the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign upended the college experience.

“I love my family to death and how they sacrificed everything to be here, to give me an education. And I will sacrifice what I can for them.”

[Under-Told Stories @UnderTold]

Another student, Eva Skipwith, shared how the stress during Operation Metro Surge affected her education and sense of security.

“You hear the whistles, and my thought is, like, oh, my God, all this work that I have put in, if I’m taken, that’s gone. What am I left with?”

At the Panyadoli Health Center’s maternity ward, beds are scarce. Mothers who deliver via c-section are prioritized; others recover on the floor.

With drastic cuts in global refugee assistance even as numbers soar, children are missing school and food rations have been slashed.

[Under-Told Stories @UnderTold]

Nowhere are the consequences clearer than at the health center — but it’s also where we saw resilience. Dr. Alex Tezita, one of only two doctors, has improvised a neonatal ward using a daisy chain of light bulbs to treat jaundice, and remains on call around the clock.

Watch @NewsHour tonight, for this @newshourfred @LancasterSimeon report from inside the Kiyrandongo Refugee Settlement where food aid is in short supply, and strained staff are working to do more with less.

[Under-Told Stories @UnderTold]

On @NewsHour tonight: Tens of thousands of Sudanese refugees fleeing war are arriving in Uganda, joining already crowded settlements as international humanitarian funding declines.

[Under-Told Stories @UnderTold]

At the Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement’s health center, an understaffed team delivers about 100 babies a week with only 45 beds. That's where we met, Dr. Alex Tezita, one of just two doctors serving around 300,000 people with limited resources.

Whether reporting on breaking news or the slow-moving crises of humanity, the challenge is the same: how to spark curiosity in an age of scarce attention.

The new "America first" model for global health assistance is bringing the promise of innovation and a push toward self-sufficiency. It expects governments to shoulder more of their own health care costs, but doesn't cover many programs shut down in the USAID closure.

[Under-Told Stories @UnderTold]

Lenacapavir is being called a game changer: a drug nearly 100% effective at preventing HIV. And it’s central to the new “America First” global health approach. Watch our report from Kenya and Uganda on @NewsHour tonight to learn more.

The U.S. government has restored some life-saving HIV drugs, but many of the programs to get those drugs to the most vulnerable patients are gone. Visit https://t.co/as9t3Icewn to watch our latest @NewsHour report on the long-term impacts of the USAID shutdown.

[Under-Told Stories @UnderTold]

The U.S. has restored most life saving drugs, but the programs that once served the most vulnerable patients, often in rural and impoverished communities, have not returned.

Watch @NewsHour tonight for our report from Uganda on what doctors fear could be a resurgence of HIV/AIDS

[Under-Told Stories @UnderTold]

On @NewsHour tonight: More than a year after the USAID shut down, the longterm consequences are coming into focus. For Dr. Otim Pius, that means fewer staff and more — and sicker — patients at his HIV clinic in Uganda. But it’s the patients he doesn’t see who worry him most.

[Under-Told Stories @UnderTold]

@NewsHour We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to tell these stories, and to our supporters for helping us carry on the work.

[Under-Told Stories @UnderTold]

A quick note of gratitude from our small corner of the internet:
