Former US President Jimmy Carter has died at the age of 100. He passed away peacefully at his home in Georgia on Sunday, surrounded by family members. Carter, who was born in Georgia, served as the 39th president of the United States from 1977 to 1981. Before entering national politics, he was a peanut farmer and the governor of Georgia.
Carter was known for his commitment to human rights and global peace. One of his most notable achievements as president was helping broker the Camp David Accords, which led to peace between Israel and Egypt. Despite facing criticism on some issues, including the oil crisis, Carter's presidency is often praised for its focus on diplomacy and humanitarian work. Even after leaving office, Carter remained active in various charitable causes. In 2002, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to promote peace and human rights worldwide. He had been battling brain cancer since 2015, yet continued to live a long and impactful life. His son, Chip Carter, remembered him as a hero to many who believed in peace and love.
Carter was the longest-living president in US history, and his death marks the end of a remarkable life dedicated to service.
