黄色视频Response to Congressional Passage of $9.15 Billion in Humanitarian Assistance

WASHINGTON (April 23, 2024)鈥The result of today鈥檚 Senate vote is the U.S. Congress鈥 passage of the supplemental appropriations bill, which includes $9.15 billion in additional humanitarian assistance. In response, Christy Gleason, Vice President for Policy, Advocacy and Campaign at Save the Children, said:

鈥溁粕悠祎hanks Congress for coming together to support $9.15 billion in emergency humanitarian assistance in the supplemental appropriations package. Today鈥檚 vote can literally mean the difference between life or death, food or hunger, safety or violence for millions of children around the world.

鈥淭he appropriated聽money can be聽used聽to聽save聽lives聽in聽Sudan,聽where聽8聽million聽people, including 4 million children,聽have聽been聽displaced by a year of conflict.

鈥淭hese additional resources could also be used to restore food rations in places like Yemen, where they were cut in half.

鈥淭oday, the United States proved it can be a leader for children鈥檚 wellbeing. It must also maintain its leadership in humanitarian assistance by ensuring that support is distributed based only on need. This is the accepted standard for principled and impactful foreign aid.

"黄色视频remains concerned about suspension of funding for UNRWA. Over 14 thousand of the 1.1 million children in Gaza have been killed and another 12,000 children have been injured.聽Children in Gaza are also dying as the result of malnutrition and disease.聽 Lifesaving supplies that could be used to treat malnourished and sick children are being delayed and denied entry into the Strip. Once inside, aid still cannot reach many children鈥攅specially those in the north, where humanitarian conditions are worst. UNRWA is irreplaceable and depriving it of critical funding risks the complete collapse of any semblance of a humanitarian response in聽Gaza聽and across the region. Every child, wherever they are and whoever they are, has a right to access humanitarian assistance.鈥
