The legislation condemns the use of starvation as a weapon and supports a strong U.S. food security response<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ el_class=”vc_col-sm-pull-4″][vc_column_text]WASHINGTON (December 1, 2022)<\/strong> – Global humanitarian organization World Vision applauds the passage of House Resolution 922, Condemning the use of hunger as a weapon of war and recognizing the effect of conflict on global food security and famine. <\/em>This piece of legislation draws critical attention to the ways in which conflict drives hunger, making children more vulnerable and keeping them from reaching their full, God-given potential.<\/p>\n
H.Res.922, introduced by Representatives Sara Jacobs (D-CA), Peter Meijer (R-MI), Bobby L. Rush (D-IL) and Tracey Mann (R-KS), strongly condemns the use of starvation as a weapon, the destruction of agriculture assets, and the denial of humanitarian access in places of conflict. The resolution also outlines the ways in which the U.S. government can continue to address hunger through diplomatic efforts and humanitarian and development response.<\/p>\n
“World Vision has worked with congressional champions and partners to move House Resolution 922 forward in the House, including by mobilizing our grassroots advocates,” stated World Vision President and CEO Edgar Sandoval Sr. “We are grateful for these representatives’ leadership and for the strong bipartisan vote in the House that condemns the use of hunger as a weapon and supports food security interventions. Given the magnitude of the current hunger crisis, U.S. support for life-saving interventions as well as long-term multi-sectoral programming are needed now more than ever.”<\/p>\n
