The @UN says 305 million people will need humanitarian assistance this year, but USAID cuts have hampered global efforts. @RescueORG President @DMiliband tells us how his organization is trying to make aid ends meet in these challenging times:

I was honored to have a meeting with the President and Foreign Minister of Syria in Damascus yesterday. The President encouraged us to continue our work for the benefit of the Syrian people. The needs are great, but the determination I saw from @RESCUEorg staff and partners in Syria was inspiring.

Head of International Rescue Committee @DMiliband tells The National's Editor-in-Chief @AlOraibi in an exclusive interview that people in Gaza are under threat from lack of food and water #Echobox=1732028913" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenationalnews.com/news/uae/2024/…

A potential ceasefire in Lebanon, conflicting accusations over aid to Gaza and the global climate crisis—@DMiliband, CEO of @RESCUEorg, weighs in on it all, and tells me how he thinks the new Trump admin may impact everything.

It’s a privilege to be featured in @BadrJafar's The Business of Philanthropy. My chapter sheds light on why bold commitments are needed from philanthropists to meet the scale of today’s global humanitarian needs. Find out more here: bit.ly/BadrJafar

Exciting news from Jordan! 🎉 The Qatar Fund for Development (@qatar_fund) and the IRC have started a project in #Jordan's Za’atari Refugee Camp, where over 23,000 Syrian refugees will have access to much-needed health care. Read more: bit.ly/3VUTYUq

We are horrified by the news of at least 40 Palestinians killed and dozens injured, including women and children, in an Israeli air strike that hit an area housing displaced people last night in Rafah, setting tents on fire.

Civilians do not just have a moral right to aid, they have a legal right to aid. I spoke with @AliVelshi about Israeli obstruction to humanitarian aid reaching Gaza. msnbc.com/ali-velshi/wat…

Starvation is on the rise in Gaza. This is not about rhetoric. This is not about politics. This is about survival. That's why it’s a failure of humanity.

“They're seeing life being lost… in front of their eyes in the most dramatic fashion… This is about human survival.” @rescueorg calls the imminent famine in Gaza “a profound failure of humanity.” Here's my conversation with its CEO @DMiliband

We are appalled by reports today that more than 100 Palestinians were killed and over 750 injured after the Israeli military opened fire as desperate crowds sought food assistance in western Gaza.

A high-level delegation headed by H.E. Mr. Khalifa Jassim Al Kuwari, Director General of Qatar Fund for Development, visited healthcare centers and health projects provided to Syrian refugees in the Zaatari camp in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

Looking forward to speaking at this event later today. We're 70 days away from the start of #COP28 and the big question is whether conflict-affected communities will get left out of global climate action yet again.
