We investigated 220 companies in 50 humanitarian projects, including digital ID & biometrics, connectivity, cybersecurity, AI, and cloud.

I strongly condemn an incident yesterday in which an aid convoy was fired upon while traveling from northern Gaza to Rafah.
The convoy was clearly marked and its movements were coordinated with the parties.
Attacks on humanitarian workers are unlawful. The conflict must stop.
For every 1$ spent on humanitarian aid, 170$ is used on fossil fuels subsidies.
The world has enough resources to build a #FamineFree future.
What's missing is political will.
