[Gates Foundation @gatesfoundation]

At the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, we believe that every life has equal value and that every person deserves the chance to lead a healthy and productive life.

We are deeply pained by the horrifying terrorist attacks in Israel and the devastating impacts of the escalating war and cascading humanitarian crisis in Gaza. We mourn the lives of so many innocent people, too many of them children.

Our foundation remains committed to a world where everyone, everywhere can reach their full potential.
