This week, USAID announced over $90 million in crucial aid for shelter, water, food, sanitation, and hygiene for Palestinians in Gaza. 

It’s vital for Hamas to accept the ceasefire and hostage deal, facilitating swift delivery of this aid to those in urgent need.

Imposing taxes on UN operations in South Sudan is disrupting humanitarian deliveries, halting lifesaving aid and impacting tens of thousands in need.

We urge the South Sudanese government to honor agreements to ensure aid reaches those who need it most.

The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms the DPRK’s May 27 and 29 launches using ballistic missile technology – in direct violation of multiple UN Security Council resolutions.

This Council has the responsibility to condemn these launches and to hold the DPRK

As President Biden made clear today, Hamas is no longer capable of carrying out another October 7 – and Israel has endorsed a new comprehensive proposal for a durable end to the war in Gaza. 

This is a decisive moment. Hamas says it wants a ceasefire. The world must press Hamas to prove

An incredibly moving morning with Filippo Grandi at John F. Kennedy Airport – where 300 refugees just arrived, full of hope about their new lives in the United States.

I was so proud to be on hand to welcome them to the American family.

The crisis in Myanmar is dire as the regime continues to put civilians in harm's way.  

The UN General Assembly has called to restrict the flow of arms, and United Nations Human Rights Council has called to restrict jet fuel to the regime.

It's time for the UN Security Council to take decisive action.
