“These kids were filled with so much hope, still. But they need the world to catch up with them. They need that global support.” The International Rescue Committee’s @KellyRazzouk recently travelled to Lebanon and met with some of the over 360,000 children there who have been forcibly displaced. On @BBCNews, she makes the urgent case for donors to fund the aid that these children desperately need:

More donor support is urgently needed to address the mounting humanitarian needs in #Lebanon. I spoke to @BBCWorld @SumiSomaskanda about what is at stake. @RESCUEorg rescue.org/press-release/…

Kelly Razzouk, VP for policy and advocacy at the International Rescue Committee, describes the agricultural importance of a peace deal being reached, and how the IRC is assisting displaced civilians.

Over 1.2 million displaced in #lebanon @RESCUEorg calls on donors and the international community to urgently scale up investment in humanitarian support

Eliminating the PMF program as President Trump ordered could mean losing a new generation of bright public servants. PMF alums @AndrwPMiller and @KellyRazzouk explain in @just_security: justsecurity.org/118031/save-pm…

The Administration’s support for media freedom is unwavering. Today, NSC’s Maher Bitar and Kelly Razzouk met with Committee to Protect Journalists’ 2024 International Press Freedom Awards Honorees on the critical role of journalists during one of the profession’s deadliest years.

Today, three American citizens and one American green-card holder who were unjustly imprisoned in Russia are finally coming home. Since taking office, President Biden and Vice President Harris have made clear that they will not stop working until every American wrongfully detained or held hostage around the world is reunited with their family.

Today the NSC - with @StateCGAC @USAIDDRG and @USTreasury - hosted a roundtable with key stakeholders to celebrate how our global #anticorruption work is delivering for American businesses, keeping communities safer, and standing up for #democracy around the world.

Senior Directors Kelly Razzouk and Nicholas Berliner met today with Pavel Butorin, the husband of @RFERL journalist Alsu Kurmasheva, who Russian authorities have held for more than six months. As we mark #PressFreedomDay on May 3, we continue to call for Alsu’s immediate release.

What an honor to participate in the Summit for Democracy Youth Town Hall with Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Democracy and Human Rights Kelly Razzouk, where we talked about our journeys through public service and the importance of safeguarding democracy. The discussions with these young leaders were insightful and inspiring, and I truly believe they're going to change the world!

So privileged to have worked for @USAmbUN An incredible mentor for the next generation

For the first time, UN High Commissioner @volker_turk, @UNSR_DPRK, & a DPRK survivor brief the #UNSC on #NorthKorea's egregious #humanrights violations without facing a procedural challenge. Kudos to @USUN, @AlMissionUN, @JapanMissionUN, and @ROK_Mission for this initiative.

@USUNSpox @USUN @WhiteHouse Going to miss working side by side with the best of the best @USUNSpox

Couldn’t ask for a better colleague or friend than @KellyRazzouk. Will miss her terribly at @USUN but so excited to see what amazing things she’ll do at the @WhiteHouse.

It has been the honor of a lifetime to learn from and work for @USAmbUN Looking forward to this new chapter @WhiteHouse and holding my time @USUN in my heart

I'm thrilled for Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield to take her seat as the UN Security Council President and look forward to @SecBlinken joining her to rally the world around ending famine and conflict-induced food insecurity. If a parent can't feed their child, nothing else matters.
