Together, we have borne witness to some of the most devastating events of the past few decades. But we have also seen humankind at its best. We have seen courage emerge from fear, and hope from despair. We have known true heroes, we have seen Humanity Act.

THE RESPONSE
U.S. funding provides life-saving humanitarian assistance to hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Our disaster relief assistance funds protection, food, shelter, medical and hygiene services, and other urgent provisions. USAID’s investments in host communities create more resilient water, health and education systems that will provide
continued benefits after this crisis has passed.
THE NEED
The humanitarian aid system, however, is under historic strain-buffeted by protracted emergencies, extreme natural disasters, and widespread displacement. 1 out of 8 babies were born in a conflict zone in 2015, our existing structures and approaches are simply not sufficient for the challenge at hand. At great personal risk, our heroic disaster assistance partners are doing everything possible to meet the immediate needs.
