Trump Order Suspends Healthcare in Refugee Camps
www.bnionline.net
Healthcare services in refugee camps along the Thailand-Myanmar border run by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) were suspended on 27 January 2025, following an order from the new United States (US) President, Donald Trump. The IRC is the main healthcare provider in the refugee camps housing refugees from Myanmar in Thailand on the border with Myanmar. The IRC gets about half of its funding from the US government and part of its work is to help resettle refugees in the US.

I’m sure this won’t cause a humanitarian healthcare crisis that will spill into the rest of the world population.

    It’s worse than this. He’s suspended ALL federal healthcare funding until it is “brought in line with his policies”. They’ve basically stopped Medicare portals all over the US, it’s not just refugee camps.
