Administrator Samantha Power Announces Fiji as a Democracy Delivers Country
Body
I am so pleased to announce that Fiji will be joining USAID’s Democracy Delivers Initiative. In an era in which democratic backsliding is occurring in almost every corner of the world, Fiji has achieved significant democratic progress, evidenced by its recent peaceful transition of power. So, as part of this effort, USAID will be working with the Government of Fiji to help it cement its recent democratic gains and to help it show citizens how democracy delivers on their most pressing needs.

Well, nightmare is the word and a nightmare, of course, for the families of people whose loved ones are still hostages. Nightmare for the people in Gaza, whose conditions you've just described very ably, which align entirely with what we see in terms of the humanitarian partners that we fund. One of our partners actually, since the Rafah invasion occurred, has reported a 500 percent increase in blast injuries. Just again, a tent for those people who've been displaced from Rafah, the price has gone from about $50 to about $800 – so desperate are people for shelter. So the statistic you used, what I'm describing, what we all know to be happening and above all what the Gazans are suffering, just injects such a degree of urgency and emergency – sense of urgency around securing this ceasefire proposal.
