For longer than both world wars combined, people in Syria have lived under conflict. In 2024 70% of the population will need humanitarian aid. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ pledged $593M, covering ~15% of Syria's funding appealโ€“but we need others to step up to help meet dire needs.

Putinโ€™s war forced Ukraine to redouble efforts to synchronize its energy grid with Europe, breaking free of its dependence on Russiaโ€“and doing so at unprecedented speed. Hereโ€™s how @USAID support has helped Ukraine build toward an independent future:

Over the last five days, 1800+ trucks movedย thru landย crossingsย at Kerem Shalom, including from Egypt, & thru Erez West via Ashdod and Jordan. This is progress, but distribution is key. Grateful to @UN & other partners working 24/7 to reach vulnerable communities in Gaza.

Conflict across Africa's Sahel region has cut off humanitarian access to countless communities in need. This week, we announced nearly $176M in food, water, & health care โ€“ but more is needed to support several countries in the region:

According to @MSF_Sudan : 130+ civilians have died & 900+ are being treated for injuries since May 10 in one hospital in El Fasher, Sudan due to the RSF & SAF conflict. Civilians, health workers, & facilities must be protected. The fighting must end now.

Weโ€™re partnering with Moldova to help reduce their dependence on Russian energy and modernize their power system. At the substation I visited today, I saw how our partnership is resulting in proven, innovative solutions and infrastructure to strengthen Moldovaโ€™s power system.

Our humanitarian partners working in Gaza tell us that conditions are worse now than ever before. Israeli military operations & closed crossings are making it extremely difficult to distribute aid.ย  Today I convened fellow donor govts to surge our response to those in dire need.

Georgiaโ€™s parliament, in passing the โ€œforeign influenceโ€ bill, risks jeopardizing the countryโ€™s democratic path, economic security, andย bilateral relationship with the U.S. We stand with the Georgian people and their desire for a European future.

Deeply concerned by the grave loss of life from an Israeli airstrike in Rafah on Sunday. Too many innocent civilians are sheltering in Rafah, in makeshift tents or out in the open. Israel must do more to protect civilians.

Devastating to see the climbing death toll from the landslide in Papua New Guinea, with estimates of up to 2,000 dead. @USAID & our partners are responding. The US will provide $500K in initial assistance for shelter, water, sanitation, and other critical services.

In Sudan, the SAF and RSF are denying food & water to vulnerable people, worsening already catastrophic humanitarian conditions. @USAID remains committed to the people of Sudan and are working to expand safe water points. Obstruction of international assistance must end now.

Kenya is generating more than 90% of its energy from renewable sources. Itโ€™s easy to feel pessimistic about the climate crisis, but leaders like President @WilliamsRuto inspire renewed optimism as they build a more sustainable future.
