I echo the SecretaryâGeneralâs thanks for the United Statesâ further commitment of $1.8 billion to the humanitarian community.
At a moment of rising needs and declining funding, this support will help save millions of lives.
Drought is forecast across parts of Chad, threatening communities already facing intense hardship.âšÂ âšIâve allocated $3M from the UN Global Emergency Fund CERF for anticipatory action, supporting cash transfers and life-saving aid for 70k people at risk.
The United States remains the most generous nation in the world for lifesaving humanitarian assistanceâbut under @POTUSâs leadership taxpayer dollars will never fund waste, anti-Americanism, or inefficiency. Today, the @StateDept and United Nations signed an agreement that radically reforms the way the U.S. programs, funds, and oversees UN-administered humanitarian work, ensuring that more lives will be saved for fewer U.S. taxpayer dollars. This new model will better share the burden of UN humanitarian work with other developed countries and will require the UN to cut bloat, remove duplication, and commit to powerful new impact, accountability and oversight mechanisms.
In November 2024, the UN USG for Humanitarian Affairs & Emergency Relief Coordinator, @UNReliefChief, visited Sudan & Chad a few days after taking office.
In November 2025, Mr. Fletcher returned to the scene of his first visit, as the humanitarian situation in #ElFasher, #Darfur, have seriously deteriorated, with thousands of Sudanese #refugees and returning Chadian #migrants having crossed the Chadian border since the end of October 2025.
