We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.
The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds.
It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

I am starving in Gaza and I donβt believe the world canβt do anything
Israel tried to starve Gaza before and the international community reacted. Why isnβt it doing anything now?
"Starvation is destroying our bodies and our minds, incapacitating us. And this is the goal... and while Israel may hope that we starve in silence, we will not. The world can and must stop the starvation of Gaza."
