What’s next is up to all of us.
- We respond in the U.S. only when conditions are overwhelming. #PuertoRico represents that now. We're responding: ow.ly/jpaf30fxWLe
- While the agreement could help ease grain shortages, this will not end or significantly alter the trajectory of the worsening global food crisis. We must recognize that our global food systems were already failing and act swiftly to deter hunger.
- Many refugees are as reliant on their phones as the rest of us. It's often their way they have to communicate with loved ones. That's why we're using mobile technology to help ease the challenges they face in their new homes. #WorldRefugeeDay
- Expanded military operations in Rafah risk catastrophic humanitarian fallout, warns our CEO @Tjada. Gaza faces an unprecedented crisis, urgently needs a #CeasefireNOW and scale-up aid—not a new onslaught in a town of a million people. Read our statement: ow.ly/RRQe50QzPrh
- More than 4 months into the conflict, the humanitarian situation in Gaza is catastrophic. People are barely finding any food to survive, there is no medicine available and families are repeatedly pushed to flee their location. This must stop. #CeasefireNOW
00:00 - To commemorate International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and #BlackHistoryMonth, today we honor the remarkable Edna Adan Ismail, an unwavering voice in the fight against FGM. 🙌 #EndFGM #EdnaAdan #WomensHealth
- We’re excited to have our CEO, @Tjada, participate in the upcoming Devex Leader Roundtable: Black leaders in global development on Feb. 21. Join the conversation here: devex.com/events/black-l…
- Did you know that sugarcane can be used to fight flooding and displacement?🌱 ➡️ Swipe to see how displaced farmers in Western Nepal are using this sturdy crop to return to their homes.
- As part of our ongoing celebration of #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor the life and work of Sonia Pierre, a dedicated human rights activist and incredible human being.🌟 We celebrate her today and every day.💙
- We join with @OxfamAmerica, @RefugeesIntl @NRC_Norway @CARE @SavetheChildren @CatholicRelief & @acfusa to say letting the people of Gaza suffer and die from hunger and preventable disease is a political choice. We need urgent action & a #CeasefireNOW
- Mercy Corps Country Director for Sudan, Sibongani Kayola, was interviewed by Esther Githui-Ewart on Voice of America’s Africa 54 about the conflict’s threat to long-term food production in the country.
- Over 1 million people sheltering in #Rafah fear an impending military offensive that would create a nightmare surpassing even the horror of the past 4 months. There is nowhere safe left to go. The solution is clear. We need an end to the siege and a #CeasefireNOW.
- @mercycorps and 60 other NGOs welcome the more than $10 billion in humanitarian assistance included in the Senate’s supplemental package & urge all members of Congress to support this urgently needed funding to address global humanitarian needs.
