LIVE UPDATE: Former President Jimmy Carter Dies at Age 100

In a heartbreaking turn of events, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. Carter, the 39th President of the United States, died peacefully at his home in Plains, Georgia, surrounded by his loved ones. His death marks the end of a remarkable life devoted to public service, humanitarian work, and global peace efforts.

Carter, born on October 1, 1924, served as president from 1977 to 1981, overseeing a turbulent period in American history. His presidency was marked by efforts to negotiate peace in the Middle East, most notably the Camp David Accords, which led to a historic peace agreement between Egypt and Israel. He also focused on human rights, environmental issues, and social justice during his time in office.

After leaving the White House, Carter became a global advocate for peace and humanitarian causes. In 2002, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work through the Carter Center, an organization he founded to promote human rights, public health, and conflict resolution.

Carter’s legacy extends beyond his political achievements. He became known for his post-presidential work, including his commitment to Habitat for Humanity, building homes for those in need, and his tireless efforts to fight diseases such as malaria and Guinea worm disease.

Carter’s passing marks the end of an era for a man whose life was defined by selfless service and a dedication to making the world a better place. He is survived by his wife, Rosalynn Carter, their children, and a nation grateful for his contributions to both the country and the world.

As tributes pour in from around the globe, Jimmy Carter’s enduring legacy of compassion, diplomacy, and peace will never be forgotten.
