As we mark one year of the devastating Israel-Palestine war, the heartbreaking reality is that the numbers cited today are still on the rise — numbers which represent families, livelihoods, homes, infrastructre, basic human needs & generational trauma. stories.globalcommunities.org/a-year-of-hear…

We are devastated to share that our colleague, Alaa Abu Al-Khair, his wife, son, daughter and other family members were killed on 7/19 in an IDF strike. A second son survived, however his status is unknown. For all innocent lives lost daily in this conflict, #ceasefire.

Alongside @USAIDSavesLives, @GCGuate works closely with communities in Guatemala so they're prepared when natural disasters strike. “...I’ve learned the importance of being prepared and working together with the community to face natural hazards.” bit.ly/3V5jRj1

We're horrified by yesterday's news of an Israeli airstrike on a safe zone in Rafah. Humanitarian principles exist to protect the most vulnerable, save lives & alleviate suffering. They need to be upheld. We continue our call for a #Ceasefire—the people of #Gaza cannot wait.

Joining my peers in urging @POTUS to take action in order to save civilian lives and alleviate the humanitarian crisis in #Gaza.

As #BlackMaternalHealthWeek comes to a close, we want to celebrate the work of our Healthy Start program, whose staff, practices and solutions ensure that the needs, wants and desires of Black women and birthing people are met with respect and support. #BMHW24

Watering seeds for change 🌱 Our @USDAForeignAg McGovern-Dole Food for Education program schools plant and maintain gardens and the crops grown serve as valuable and nutritious elements of their daily meals, offer local ownership and a source of income for schools.

In this #Crisis2Resilience story, explore how a pilot project that transformed 7.5 acres of underutilized land via the @USAIDSriLanka-funded SCORE program helped strengthen economic resilience and became a training ground for small-scale cultivation. bit.ly/3PESGcG

As we mark the end of Ramadan, I want to extend my warmest wishes to all who observed this holy month. It is a time of reflection, self-improvement, and deepening of faith. It's also a time for nurturing community and shared humanity—so important during these challenging times.

This week's UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in #Gaza is a step in the right direction. A ceasefire and adherence to international humanitarian law are essential to preserving our common humanity and ensuring the delivery of humanitarian assistance.

Access to #water changes lives. With support from @USAID, over 4,780 people in Mandari, Northern Ghana, have been positively impacted by the installation of a solar-powered mechanized water system. “We no longer trek for hours in search of water.” globalcommunities.org/blog/game-chan…
