It is possible to bring more relief to Gaza, and humanitarian organizations know how to make it happen. This suffering can end, with the political will to open the crossings to let lifesaving supplies in, facilitate security, and let organizations work.
Orderly distributions are possible in #Gaza. Since October 2023, we’ve reached 1.7 million people with food, shelter, water, cash assistance and emotional support. With a ceasefire and unimpeded access to aid, we are ready to do more. The need is urgent:

Powerful to hear @EroComfort speak to the cost of Gaza to us all at #EHF2025.we can never say ‘never again’ as long as this crisis is unfolding in front of our eyes. Will Gaza be the cemetery of IHL too?

A clear call to defend fundamental values by EU Commissioner @hadjalahbib. Humanitarian action must be impartial and independent. Stay strong, principled, and stay engaged.#EHF2025

Heart wrenching news, as the thinnest of lifelines is brutally cut for children, women and men in Gaza. The outrage again of food being available and intentionally withheld. Starvation as a weapon of war is strictly prohibited and deeply immoral.
WFP has fully depleted its food stocks in #Gaza. Today, the last supplies were delivered to hot meal kitchens — Gaza’s only steady source of food for weeks. These kitchens will run out of ingredients in the coming days. Read full statement.🔗

Devastated to read of this abhorrent attack on civilians and the directed attack on healthcare workers. Sharing outrage that these attacks continue and escalate without any accountability. Calling on the Ministerial Conference to mobilize all parties to resolution.
Relief International is devastated to report that Friday evening local time, the 11 of April, RSF fighters breached the external perimeter of Zamzam camp, where we were the last providers of critical health and humanitarian services.

As a fellow Kansan, thank you Senator Moran for seeing the importance of taking action--lives hang in the balance and this assistance represents the best of us.
I urge @SecRubio to distribute the $340 million in American-grown food currently stalled in U.S. ports to reach those in need. Time is running out before this life-saving aid perishes.

Great to contribute perspectives from INGOs on priorities and proposals and progress, levers to unlock the potential for change at scale.Incentive structures and power balance must change to be more effective as well as efficient. Great session! @InterActionOrg #grandBargain.
At the 3rd Grand Bargain Facilitation Group retreat in Berlin, we discussed how to overcome remaining barriers to improve the efficiency of the humanitarian system. Recommendations for concrete impact will be presented at the Annual Meeting in October – stay tuned! #GrandBargain
