More than 80% of USAID programmes 'officially ending' after six-week purge, Secretary of State Marco Rubio says.

Rubio said the initiatives "spent tens of billions in ways that did not serve" or harmed US interests.

The remaining 18% of programmes will now be administered by the State Department .

Humanitarian organisations have warned that the move is already having dire consequences around the world.
