When the Trump administration dismantled USAID and ended vast swaths of foreign assistance to the world’s poorest countries, much of the food aid and health care for children across Somalia were abruptly cut off. Now more children are arriving at emergency centers sicker and thinner than ever.
America’s Retreat From Aid Is Devastating Somalia’s Health System
Hunger and the diseases that stalk small children have surged in Somalia after the U.S. slashed its aid to the country.

In a typical Atlantic hurricane season, at least three storms would have already made landfall in the U.S.

But with 12 named storms so far this year — four of them hurricanes — the only one to make landfall was Tropical Storm Chantal. Here's why.

How over- and underrepresented are different causes of death in the media?

Another way to visualize this data is to measure how over- or underrepresented each cause is.

To do this, we calculate the ratio between a cause’s share of deaths and its share of news articles.
