Devex’s Sara Jerving covers a discussion of experts at a Devex Impact House event on the sidelines of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly. She quotes Sean Carroll, Anera’s recently departed president and CEO, saying enduring crises are not a “new normal,” but rather a “new reality.” “I think there aren’t going to be many organizations left, unfortunately, who can say: ‘Well, we’re only humanitarian or we’re only long-term development’ — at least if you’re working in conflict areas, you really have to be both,” Carroll said.

The AP’s James Pollard spoke with Anera’s Alicia Phillips Mandaville and quotes her throughout the piece.

Malaysia has granted $200,000 to Anera to support its SHIFAA program, which delivers critical medical and social services to residents of the Gaza (Jerash) Refugee Camp in Jordan. Anera’s Nourhan Shuqman thanked Malaysia for the financial support, stating that the funds will better local healthcare operations and provide critical medical services to camp families.”

The founder of the Meem Foundation, Muna Al Gurg, writes about the foundation’s support for an Anera initiative to help girls at risk of educational withdrawal and early marriage remain connected to learning and future opportunities.

Anera’s Tahani Shehada speaks with Gaza City reporter Nourdine Shnino. Shehada has noticed a recurring sentiment among displaced families: “We are living a life in tents that does not reflect who we are.”

Six months after a ceasefire was announced in Gaza, conditions remain dire. And serious reconstruction has yet to begin. The cost of rebuilding the enclave’s infrastructure alone is estimated at more than $71 billion. That’s according to a new report released today by the United Nations and the European Union. The World’s host, Marco Werman, discusses the implications with Sean Carroll, president of American Near East Refugee Aid (Anera), a relief organization with deep roots in Gaza.

Anera’s local staff and community joined together for an interfaith iftar on March 5, at Nabiha DC, a Palestinian “protest restaurant and community space” on U Street. Every seat was taken in both the Peruvian El Secreto de Rosita side of the restaurant and the Palestinian café side. Attendees shared their worries about the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and wondered how the latest news would affect hungry and unhoused refugees in Gaza and the entire region.

As Lebanon’s humanitarian crisis deepens, Sorbé partners with Anera and the Lebanese Red Cross to provide safe sanitation facilities for displaced women and girls – restoring dignity, privacy and a sense of comfort in the midst of conflict. Leen Al Saadi reports.
