MAURICE DuBOIS: The African nation of Uganda is in the middle of a deadly Ebola outbreak.
JOHN DICKERSON: The United States was providing on the ground humanitarian assistance until President Trump pulled the plug on USAID.
DuBOIS: The loss of that help raises the risk not only for Uganda, but for the rest of the world, as well, including the U.S. Debora Patta reports from Entebbe.
DEBORA PATTA: As soon as we stepped off the plane in Uganda, we noticed a lack of health screening.
There seems to be one person possibly monitoring temperatures. It was unclear.
There should be at least two, but it has been scaled back due to funding cuts. Right in the middle of Uganda's eighth Ebola outbreak. The first case was reported nine days after President Trump took office.
AID WORKER: So what is Ebola?
PATTA: USAID was leading the emergency response when all of its 37 staff here were fired. We spoke to one of them, a senior USAID official, and voiced over her words to protect her identity. She told us Uganda's health system has been crippled by the cuts. How does the crippling of the health system in Uganda impact Americans right now?
FORMER USAID WORKER: Someone with Ebola could board a plane and end up in the United States.
PATTA: Is America a little less safe?
FORMER USAID WORKER Absolutely. It makes our ability to detect and respond to disease much weaker, and that makes us less safe.
