> $6 million to fund tourism in Egypt [link explains it is to fund economic development in North Sinai]
This sounds like an absolutely expected program for USAID, given that it is a soft power aid agency. Egypt is a regional partner to the US and this province has been a source of Islamist violence. It also borders the Gaza Strip.
> Through this agreement, USAID will build on previous investments in North Sinai including the provision of potable water to 300,000 residents and wastewater services to 100,000 residents. New activities under this amendment will provide access to transportation for rural communities and economic livelihood programming for families.
How is that funding tourism? Also a lot of other links are simply pointing to "news" organisations (in quotation marks, because I'm not sure if I'd call daily mail news), who report on cuts done by DOGE, that's some circular referencing.
