Section 7(a) of the Global Food Security Act of 2016 ( 22 U.S.C. 9306(a) ) is amended to read as follows: It is the sense of Congress that— after more than a decade of conflict in Syria and the onset of other major humanitarian emergencies where the provision of certain United States humanitarian assistance has been particularly challenging, including the 2021 crisis in Northern Ethiopia, the 2021 super-typhoon in the Philippines, the 2021 earthquake in Haiti, the 2018 Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the ongoing humanitarian disasters in Yemen and South Sudan, and primary and secondary threats from the global COVID–19 pandemic, United States international disaster assistance has become severely stressed;
Russia’s unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine has exacerbated existing food insecurity crises around the world, most notably in Ethiopia, South Sudan, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Somalia, where more than 750,000 people are at risk for famine, starvation, and death; the Russian invasion follows growing global rates of conflict, the COVID–19 pandemic, and increasingly severe climate shocks; and the United Stated must continue to enable people who are in crisis to lift themselves out of hunger and poverty. .
Section 492(a) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 ( 22 U.S.C. 2292a(a) ) is amended by striking $2,794,184,000 for each of fiscal years 2017 through 2023, of which up to $1,257,382,000 and inserting $3,905,460,000 for each of the fiscal years 2024 through 2028, of which up to $1,757,457,000 .
