The @UN says 305 million people will need humanitarian assistance this year, but USAID cuts have hampered global efforts. @RescueORG President @DMiliband tells us how his organization is trying to make aid ends meet in these challenging times:

[David Miliband @DMiliband]

I was honored to have a meeting with the President and Foreign Minister of Syria in Damascus yesterday. The President encouraged us to continue our work for the benefit of the Syrian people. The needs are great, but the determination I saw from @RESCUEorg staff and partners in Syria was inspiring.

A potential ceasefire in Lebanon, conflicting accusations over aid to Gaza and the global climate crisis—@DMiliband, CEO of @RESCUEorg, weighs in on it all, and tells me how he thinks the new Trump admin may impact everything.

[IsDB Group @isdb_group]

#Riyadh: #IsDB President H.E. Dr. Muhammad Al Jasser met with International Rescue Committee (IRC) President and CEO H.E. Mr. David Miliband to discuss the opportunity of forging a partnership aimed at bridging the humanitarian-development nexus.

The discussion focused on leveraging their complementary strengths to:
• Enhance emergency support interventions
• Foster long-term development in fragile and
conflict-affected member countries
• Unlock innovative financing solutions

IsDB, alongside its global development partners, will continue to deliver vital humanitarian and development support in many fragile and conflict-affected parts of the world.

It’s a privilege to be featured in @BadrJafar's The Business of Philanthropy. My chapter sheds light on why bold commitments are needed from philanthropists to meet the scale of today’s global humanitarian needs. Find out more here: https://t.co/XizH4bWbrL

We are horrified by the news of at least 40 Palestinians killed and dozens injured, including women and children, in an Israeli air strike that hit an area housing displaced people last night in Rafah, setting tents on fire.

[David Miliband @DMiliband]

Civilians do not just have a moral right to aid, they have a legal right to aid.

I spoke with @AliVelshi about Israeli obstruction to humanitarian aid reaching Gaza.

Starvation is on the rise in Gaza. This is not about rhetoric. This is not about politics. This is about survival. That's why it’s a failure of humanity.

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

“They're seeing life being lost… in front of their eyes in the most dramatic fashion… This is about human survival.”

@rescueorg calls the imminent famine in Gaza “a profound failure of humanity.”

Here's my conversation with its CEO @DMiliband

[IRC - International Rescue Committee @RESCUEorg]

We are appalled by reports today that more than 100 Palestinians were killed and over 750 injured after the Israeli military opened fire as desperate crowds sought food assistance in western Gaza.

[Qatar Fund For Development صندوق قطر للتنمية @qatar_fund]

A high-level delegation headed by H.E. Mr. Khalifa Jassim Al Kuwari, Director General of Qatar Fund for Development, visited healthcare centers and health projects provided to Syrian refugees in the Zaatari camp in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

[David Miliband @DMiliband]

Looking forward to speaking at this event later today. We're 70 days away from the start of #COP28 and the big question is whether conflict-affected communities will get left out of global climate action yet again.
