# Finance minister Enoch Godongwana has introduced a Special Appropriation Bill in Parliament to allocate 754-million-rand to address the funding shortfall caused by the US withdrawal of health sector donor funding. Last week, the US Supreme Court extended an order that allows president Donald Trump to keep the freeze on foreign aid. The funding termination affected about 40 USAID-funded health projects in South Africa, resulting in the cessation of services provided by approximately eight-thousand-493 US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief-funded staff involved in HIV response activities.
