Humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. Violence in Sudan. Climate-driven disaster in the Horn of Africa.
Global humanitarian needs are at a near record high as conflict, hunger, and displacement impact countless lives around the world — more than 301 million people are expected to need humanitarian assistance this year across 73 countries.
Right now, you can take action by urging U.S. Congress to sufficiently fund emergency humanitarian aid, food assistance, and economic development in the FY 2025 federal budget.

As the world faces surging humanitarian needs, the United States must continue to be a leader in providing emergency relief and developmental support for communities in need. That’s why we’re urging the U.S. Congress to:
 |
 |
Provide sufficient funding to the International Disaster Assistance and Food for Peace Title II accounts, which provide critical lifesaving and emergency humanitarian and food assistance to millions of people affected by conflict, disaster, and other emergencies. |
| |
| |
|
Invest in the Development Assistance and Economic Support Fund, which supports poverty reduction, economic development, and social stability in countries around the world. |
Join us in calling on Congress to help millions of families in emergency situations and invest in long-term support as communities in crisis recover and rebuild.
Thank you for your showing up during this critical time.
