The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is pulling all employees off the job and out of the field globally by the end of Friday .

The agency’s website was replaced with that removal notice on Monday , its social media accounts are down, and all funding has been frozen.

Canada has partnered with USAID on several projects over the past decade , including water management in Peru and humanitarian relief in Gaza and the West Bank .

“Global challenges demand collective action, and we will continue to do our part by forging new partnerships that support peace, security, and prosperity for all.” Ravon said filling the gap left by USAID is “almost insurmountable.” “The world has been facing a record levels of humanitarian crises, so the humanitarian system as a whole was already overstretched,” she said. “Having the bottom fall out has huge implications.” —With files from the Associated Press .
