We continue to face immense challenges in delivering food aid in #Gaza. “This is not a logistical challenge. It's not a physical or topographical one. It's primarily a political one,” Edward Carins, @MercyCorps Senior Ops Manager told NPR Greg Myre npr.org/2024/07/15/nx-…

We welcome the re-election of Ursula von der Leyen as President of European Commission and her call for an “immediate, enduring” ceasefire in #Gaza. Peter @Brorsen, Mercy Corps Director for EU Relations reiterates that we urge the new EC to recommit to humanitarian and development aid budgets

Deeply troubling reports from our colleagues in #Sudan. My colleague, Barrett Alexander, spoke to @JamesCopnell on BBC World Service about our latest research that reveals 9/10 children in #Darfur are suffering life-threatening malnutrition. 🔗 mercycorps.org/press-room/rel…

Watching hate-filled rioters attack asylum-seekers and the Muslim community across England, including my hometown of Birmingham, is devastating and abhorrent. This must stop. Violence is never the answer. news.sky.com/story/uk-riots…

Our thoughts and solidarity are with all the communities impacted by the abhorrent, racist violence and riots that have taken place across the UK. We stand against all forms of racism. We stand with asylum-seekers, people of colour, and the Muslim community. End the #UKRiots.

I am a proud signatory of Bond's open letter, signed by 60+ other NGO leaders in the UK, that re-commits to dismantling racism in the wake of the heinous, racist and country-wide violence we've seen in recent weeks. Read the open letter 👇

Three years since the Taliban took control of #Afghanistan, the impact of sanctions and other restrictions are hampering economic recovery. The international community’s current approach focuses too narrowly on aid and must prioritise economic recovery. ow.ly/oxhM50SWvJu

I am lost for words. The death toll in #Gaza has now surpassed 40,000. These are human lives extinguished, while preventable hunger, malnutrition, disease and illness continue to claim additional lives. Those in power must end this carnage and take action. #CeasefireNOW

Famine has been confirmed in parts of #Sudan. Mercy Corps teams are racing to deliver urgent aid. Our humanitarians, like Sarah Castéran, also work to support longer-term recovery efforts and improve food security. #ActForHumanity #WHD2024 #WorldHumanitarianDay

Humanitarian workers face more lethal risks, operational challenges, and access constraints than ever before. The safe delivery of humanitarian aid is no longer guaranteed and civilians are the ones who suffer. On #WHD2024, those in power must #ActForHumanity.

Our @MercyCorps colleague in #Sudan describes processing the trauma of displacement, while hosting others via The New Humanitarian. The international community must urgently scale humanitarian response & push for collective action by UN Security Council. 🔗 ow.ly/7itw50T4TKP

As #WorldWaterWeek continues in Stockholm, I’ve taken to LinkedIn to share a story of how one #WaterSecurity pilot in #Jordan and has gone on to have an oceanic impact on communities with early, flexible seed-funding from Xylem. 🔗 Take a look: linkedin.com/pulse/power-pi…
