The U.S. strongly condemns the attack today from Rwanda Defense Forces and M23 positions on the Mugunga camp for Internally Displaced Persons in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is essential that all states respect each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Millions of people around the world are at grave risk of famine.
Here’s how American farmers and factory workers in the state of Georgia are stepping up to save lives:
Journalists are more essential than ever as democracies confront backsliding and autocrats continue to repress the flow of info and ideas.
Today on

When children are truly hungry, they stop crying – lacking the energy to do so. But RUTF, a lifesaving nutritional supplement, can help bring a child back from the brink.

communities and their stories.
The rich contributions of Jewish Americans are woven into the cultural fabric of American identity. This month & beyond, we honor their history and leadership, while reflecting on the alarming rise of antisemitism and all we must do to combat discrimination.
