In Zambia, 33% of all deaths are preventable child & maternal deaths. This week, at the Maternal and Newborn Health Summit in Zambia, @USAID , @MOHZambia & our partners came together on how we can accelerate getting care to those in need. Every mother deserves to survive & thrive.

Today, @USAID joined the Gov’t of Zambia & partners at a Maternal and Newborn Health Summit to discuss the acceleration plan to reduce maternal newborn deaths. This is such vital work. I am so glad we’re all pulling in the same direction.

We are deeply alarmed about democratic backsliding in Georgia.  Georgian Parliamentarians face a critical choice - whether to support the Georgian people’s EuroAtlantic aspirations or pass a Kremlin-style foreign agents' law that runs counter to democratic values.

Spoke with SAF leadership on the gravity of the crisis in Sudan and my alarm over looming famine. The SAF must immediately facilitate the delivery of lifesaving aid to desperate Sudanese by opening the Adre border crossing from Chad to allow @WFP access.

Ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTF) to treat over 7K kids have arrived in Cyprus, the first stop on its way to the maritime corridor to Gaza. RUTF is formulated to address the most life-threatening form of malnutrition & can be a lifeline for thousands of kids in Gaza.

860,000 people in Sudan have been denied humanitarian aid for more than a month because the warring parties are blocking access to lifesaving aid. Millions face famine because of the conflict. SAF & RSF must open up full access for humanitarian aid and end the conflict now.

Humanitarian assistance should never be a target. Recent attacks on humanitarian convoys trying to reach Palestinian civilians are unacceptable and only exacerbate an already dire humanitarian crisis.

Russia’s recent attacks on Ukraine’s energy system are the worst since Putin began his full-scale invasion. @USAID supports Ukraine’s energy resilience, recently delivering 91 cogeneration units that ease pressure on the grid by providing heat and power to >1 million Ukrainians.
