Mercy Corps’ Post

Mercy Corps is horrified by the alarming continuation of violence committed against civilians in Israel and Gaza, and deeply concerned by the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. As the conflict escalates, the urgent need for humanitarian assistance - and supplies including water, food and fuel - intensifies. Mercy Corps has worked in the West Bank and Gaza since 1986, providing humanitarian support including access to water, working with children and young people, and connecting people to economic opportunities in an area where unemployment is over 40 percent. We are working to restart our humanitarian programs in Gaza and our team members there are committed to significantly ramping up much-needed lifesaving assistance as soon as it is safe to do so. #gaza #israel #palestine #humanitarianaid

We cannot be clearer: #Sudan is experiencing a starvation crisis of historic proportions. And yet, the silence is deafening. In partnership with Norwegian Refugee Council and Danish Refugee Council / Dansk Flygtningehjælp, we urgently call on the international community to address the immense hunger crisis within the country. #TalkAboutSudan 🔗 Read our new report: https://lnkd.in/gkmXM4Us

When art meets action, we create a better—and definitely more colorful—world.🎨🤍 In Northern #Jordan, one of the most water-scarce countries in the world, our team has been bringing awareness around water scarcity conservation through the “Hold Water” street art project. All six murals include one common element: the Black Iris flower, Jordan’s national symbol of growth, renewal, and change in a dry environment. #EveryDropCounts #ArtforConservation #WorldWaterWeek #WWWeek
