In this episode of the Brief Bulletin: Zimbabwe is battling a severe malaria outbreak in 2025, with 115 recorded outbreaks—a dramatic rise from just one in 2024. Health experts blame the surge on U.S. foreign aid cuts under former President Donald Trump, which disrupted vital funding for malaria, TB, and HIV/AIDS programmes in Zimbabwe. The withdrawal has crippled disease control efforts and halted mosquito net distribution, putting millions at risk. We also cover the fallout from the Jeju Air plane crash investigation. Families of the victims are speaking out, accusing authorities of unfairly blaming the pilot and ignoring factors like runway design and infrastructure flaws that contributed to the disaster.
