International aid and development work funded by the U.S. government has almost entirely come to a halt.

Organizations described being locked out of systems and unable to access funds.

USAID officials and humanitarian aid leaders insisted to ABC News that despite Marco Rubio's public statements, waivers were not working.

Some aid organizations are already facing financial consequences and are at risk of shutting down.

Others are worried about national security risks because of the sudden freeze.

"The U.S. is abandoning some of the most desperate people in the world," one aid official says.

The White House and State Department have insisted they are rooting out waste.
