Russia sticks to Ukraine grain deal after U.N.-brokered negotiations
The Black Sea Grain Initiative, a U.N.-brokered agreement signed between the world body, Russia, Ukraine and Turkey on July 22, 2022, will now continue at least until mid-July.
Humanitarian organizations and diplomats working for peace must respond effectively to the needs of people caught in crises, understand and analyze their needs, and mobilize international aid. With enough funding and resources, organizations can provide tools and services to ensure that no one affected by a crisis is left behind. The number of people who need aid has soared in recent years due to factors like climate change, population growth and the spread of armed groups and extremists.
