#UNICEF, the #UN Children's Fund, is providing #humanitarian support for #children world-wide, and also in #Gaza and #Ukraine.

If you can afford it, consider to donate

for children in Gaza:
unicef.org/emergencies/childre

for children in Ukraine:
help.unicef.org/ukraine-emerge

Please note that depending on your country, directly above the "Donate" button, there may be a tiny link "Designate to children in…". Make sure the selected region reflects your preferences, or pick "globally". No wrong choices here.

A snr #USAID official was placed on leave Sunday after he wrote a memo blowing the whistle on the #Trump admin’s failure to provide lifesaving #humanitarian assistance, contradicting claims by Secy of #State #MarcoRubio that it was exempt from the freeze on #ForeignAid.

Shortly after receiving notice that he’d been placed on leave, Nicholas Enrich, USAID’s acting asst administrator for #GlobalHealth, released a series of memos he’d written.

Could we agree that #worldBicycleRelief 's #bicycle is not really #solarpunk ?

Sure, it's nice it's durable and given to people in need.

But it's not really repairable. Custom, copyrighted components designed to keep the company afloat, available only through controllable humanitarian channels.

I'd take well-standardized open source any day.

#Israel announced on Sunday morning that it was halting the entry of all goods & #humanitarian assistance into #Gaza immediately, hours after proposing a temporary extension of the now-expired #ceasefire w/ #Hamas.

The drastic step to block #aid appeared to be aimed at pressuring Hamas into accepting the new framework — & to make the Israeli govt’s negotiating position clear.

Elisha Dunn-Georgiou, president & CEO of the #GlobalHealth Council, said the situation is "horrible." She said that even some of the programs that had received waivers for being "life saving humanitarian assistance”–including ones that provided #HIV medications–have now received termination notices.

"This is a global health #massacre," said one #humanitarian ofcl, who isn't authorized to speak on behalf of their org.

Another fired employee said the hundreds of dismissals meant that the #aid agency now had only a skeleton crew to respond to #humanitarian crises.

The appointee running day-to-day operations at #USAID is #PeteMarocco, a #State Dept official overseeing foreign aid who was a #divisive figure at the agency & other government departments in the first #Trump administration. Early this month, #MarcoRubio announced he was taking over the aid agency as acting administrator.

The latest round of dismissals occurred on Friday night, when hundreds of people working for the agency’s Bureau for #Humanitarian Assistance got emails saying their jobs had been terminated. Two employees who got the emails said they were strange because they did not state any job titles specifically & did not have the recipients’ names in the “to” field. They were generic emails sent out in a large wave.

#AramMoghaddassi, who has worked for both X & #ElonMusk’s Neuralink; & #MichaelRusso, a #SiliconValley exec who has since been named chief info officer of the #SocialSecurity Admin.

…The push for access to the #Treasury sys came as the #Trump admin moved to dismantle #USAID, the govt’s lead agency for providing #humanitarian assistance globally. Much of the agency’s #workforce will be put on leave this week, & contracts have been halted.

#ElonMusk has also taken a keen interest in the federal govt’s real estate portfolio, managed by the General Services Administration, moving to terminate leases. Internally, #GSA leaders have started to discuss eliminating as much as 50% of the agency’s budget….

Perhaps most significant, #Musk has sought to dismantle #USAID, the govt’s lead agency for #humanitarian #aid & development assistance. #Trump has already frozen #ForeignAid spending, but Musk has gone further.

Trump’s order to halt most #ForeignAid has intensified #humanitarian crises & raised questions about the #UnitedStates’ reliability as a global leader.

In #famine-stricken #Sudan, soup kitchens that feed hundreds of thousands of civilians trapped in a #WarZone have shut down.

In #Thailand, #war #refugees w/life-threatening #diseases have been turned away by hospitals & carted off on makeshift stretchers.

#RIPJimmyCarter -- #Humanitarian #ClimateChangePioneer #NiceGuy. My late grandmother volunteered to get him elected and worked on his re-election campaign, and said he was the only decent human being to run for the office. We both thought he had been set up by the #GOP -- and it turns out, we may have been right!

New claim about #IranHostageCrisis sabotage may change narrative of #Carter presidency

Mar 20, 2023

"In the summer of 1980, a prominent Republican close to #RonaldReagan's campaign sought to sabotage then-President Jimmy Carter's reelection by asking #MiddleEastern leaders to get a message to the #Iranians: Keep the American #hostages until after the election, and the Reagan administration will give you a better deal.

"That stunning reporting this weekend by The New York Times is prompting a rethinking of presidential history."
