I stopped donating to this group years ago because of concerning issues.

While all the public relations focus is on Gaza, the scale of human suffering in sub-Saharan Africa is overlooked. Trump and Musk destroying USAID left hundreds of millions of people starving, without medical care, left to the mercy of Russia, China, and local evil-doers empowered by the chaos.

NGOs can't stop this sheer volume of evil. And they have their own problems.
