Sudanese communities face gender-based violence & ethnic targeting. We cannot sit idly by while these disturbing patterns re-emerge. Mercy Corps calls on UN member states to redouble efforts to end the conflict and bring down barriers to humanitarian response. #Sudan #UNGA2023


She won, we won. Thank you Billie Jean King.

As we mark #PeaceDay2023 and consider (lack of) progress towards the #SDGs at their mid point, it could not be a better time to talk with columlynch and Richard Gowan about Peacebuilding for a World in Transition Devex @ #UNGA78 Join us this afternoon! pages.devex.com/devex-at-unga-…

My interview with ABC News Live for Mercy Corps on the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in #Gaza. No one can get out, basic services are cut off and little to no aid is getting in. We need safe access now to help the millions of people whose lives hang in the balance.

We have not been able to contact Mercy Corps team members in Gaza since Thursday’s communications blackout due to a lack of fuel. We’re extremely worried for their safety and wellbeing. Civilians must be protected and lifesaving services restored. #CeasefireNow






Joined Mercy Corps staff & colleagues from other humanitarian organizations in front of the White House tonight to call for a ceasefire in Gaza. Without one, Innocent lives will continue to be lost and it will be impossible to deliver enough aid. #ceasefirenow



As we settle in for the holidays, #Gaza is literally starving. The UN just released data that a quarter of the population—that’s 500k people—are facing famine-like conditions. This is unconscionable and entirely preventable. Mercy Corps statement : mercycorps.org/press-room/rel…





.President Donald J. Trump - your red line in Rafah has been crossed. What will you do? #Rafah #RedLine #WhatNow? #RafahRedLineWhatNow?

As world focuses on Netanyahu's visit to DC, "the humanitarian situation in Gaza is in a nosedive," Mercy Corps' Kate Phillips-Barrasso says. cnn.com/politics/live-…

My interview with CNN International today on the catastrophic humanitarian situation in #Gaza and the lack of progress on key metrics set forth by the US government to Israel on addressing the challenges impeding aid groups from delivering assistance.
