Tell Congress: Speak Out on Humanitarian Crisis in Yemen

A child living in extreme poverty with little food and water

The United States is the global leader when it comes to humanitarian assistance because it's reflective of our core values – compassion, dignity and hope.

Yet, crises around the globe continue to exacerbate hunger, displacement, disease and violence – particularly against women and girls. This year alone, more than 137 million people will rely on humanitarian assistance to meet their most basic needs.

The need for U.S. leadership has never been greater – aid alone cannot eliminate suffering globally. Tell your members of Congress to speak out and urge the Administration to unequivocally respond to and address the root causes of conflict and humanitarian crises.

I am joining CARE Action advocates in calling on you to help protect the lives of the most vulnerable people around the world, including women and girls. Please urge the Administration to respond to and address the root causes of conflict and humanitarian crises globally.

In countries rife with conflict and fighting, women and children are uniquely affected and struggle to meet their basic needs, including access to food, clean water and shelter. CARE assessments have shown, in crisis, child, early and forced marriage rises and conversely, girls' enrollment in school falls. During times of food insecurity, women and girls are the last to eat, and thus suffer higher rates of malnutrition and starvation.

Without significant efforts to address root causes of conflict and crisis, humanitarian need will continue to grow. It will take a committed effort from U.S. leadership to achieve progress globally and save lives.

I am grateful that Congress has been working to address global humanitarian needs by protecting the FY19 foreign assistance budget from cuts, but we must do more to address the underlying causes of hunger, displacement, disease and sexual violence. Raising your voice on these crises now can have a major impact on the lives of more than 137 million people in need of humanitarian assistance today.

That's why I am calling you to urge the Administration to unequivocally respond to and address the root causes of conflict and humanitarian crises across the globe. Thank you for your leadership at this critical time.

Sincerely,
