A tragic weekend for aid workers in #Gaza. My deepest condolences to Save the Children International & World Central Kitchen who are mourning colleagues killed in recent days, and to all in our community who have lost friends and colleagues during what has already been the deadliest year for aid workers.

The global crises we face can feel insurmountable. But my Mercy Corps colleagues & our community partners show us every day there is hope for a better future. This #GivingTuesday, your gift will go 2X as far thanks to our Matching Gift Challenge: ow.ly/hxI050Ujc7P

Renewed conflict in Syria is deeply worrying. Infrastructure in displacement camps is overstretched & any influx threatens to leave thousands w/out support. 800K people are already living in tents unable to withstand harsh winter conditions. mercycorps.org/press-room/rel…

Glad to see new funds committed to Sudan by the US government this week. 30 million people will need humanitarian assistance in Sudan in 2025 - 5 million more than this year as conflict grinds on. Global funding is nowhere near where it needs to be to meet the staggering needs.

I recently joined Mark Leon Goldberg to discuss monumental changes in Syria & what continues to be a worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. My greatest hope for 2025 is peace for so many trying to survive through unimaginable suffering. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-t…

Easing restrictions on humanitarian aid to Syria is critical & the general license issued by US Treasury today will help aid groups deliver essential supplies & support after much uncertainty over the last month. apnews.com/article/treasu…

Strong recommendations from Kate Phillips-Barrasso in Devex for how the incoming US Administration can advance locally led development to increase the impact of US-funded foreign assistance programs, reinforcing global stability & US interests.

The #Gaza #Ceasefire brings hope to both Palestinians who have endured 15+ months of conflict & unimaginable suffering & to the Israeli hostages & their families. This moment now demands an urgent scale-up of aid to Gaza. My statement: mercycorps.org/press-room/rel…

My colleagues in Gaza are sharing reactions to the #ceasefire deal as we anxiously wait & as airstrikes continue. One said, "I still can’t absorb the fact that there is a life after war. There is an after war. My subconscious mind is convinced that war is my life forever."

Senator Graham is correct. For pennies on the dollar, American foreign assistance not only protects vulnerable children and families—it enhances U.S. security and prosperity, making it a deft use of taxpayer funds.

Eastern DRC is spiraling as violence surges, displacing 400,000+ in 25 days. Civilians & aid workers face grave risks while blocked routes & broken supply chains hamper aid delivery. We need safety & access to reach those in desperate need. apnews.com/article/congo-… #DRCrisis
