Strategic Humanitarian Investments to Ensure Lasting Democracies Act

This bill appropriates nearly $18 billion in emergency funding for international humanitarian assistance and security programs, primarily to address crises in Israel and Ukraine. It provides $5.655 billion for emergency food and shelter, $3.495 billion for refugee assistance, and $7.1 billion for military assistance with specific allocations for Israel ($3.5 billion), Ukraine ($1.6 billion), and the Indo-Pacific region ($2 billion). The bill includes strict oversight requirements, including third-party monitoring of aid to Gaza and detailed reporting to Congress on fund usage. It also establishes mechanisms for transferring funds between programs while requiring certification that assistance aligns with U.S. national security interests.
