A federal judge halted a midnight deadline for USAID to slash its workforce to a few hundred from more than 5,000 .

The White House says there is “no greater advocate” for women than Trump .

USAID focuses largely on prevention and treatment of HIV, malaria and tuberculosis.

Advocates say the agency is a critical lifeline for women and girls.

As contractors were let go and direct hires were put on leave, “essentially all malaria work stopped right then” This has prompted anxiety and concern as the rainy season approaches in some regions.

Time-sensitive measures like spraying homes with insecticide, usually slated to begin before the rainy seasons, have been knocked off course.
