Tim Kaine: “Nearly 500 tons of high energy biscuits stored at a USAID…”

“USAID is continuously consulting with partners on where to best distribute commodities at USAID warehouses. A proposal to hand the stocks to aid organizations is on hold. Finally, Nearly 500 tons of high energy biscuits stored at a USAID warehouse in Dubai are due to expire in July. According to a former USAID official, the biscuits could feed at least 27,000 acutely malnourished children for a month. The biscuits are now likely to be destroyed or turned into animal feed.” (01:13–01:20)
