President Donald Trump on returning office last week ordered a 90-day pause to review assistance by the United States, the world's largest donor in dollar terms.
Rubio followed up by freezing virtually all funding, though he specified exemptions for emergency food as well as military assistance to Israel and Egypt.
In a follow-up memo on Tuesday after an outcry from aid groups, Rubio clarified that other "humanitarian assistance" besides food would also be exempt during the review period.
Humanitarian assistance was defined as «core life-saving medicine, medical services, food, shelter and subsistence assistance,» Rubio wrote in the memo, the contents of which were confirmed to AFP.
