Former US President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100, the Carter Center confirmed.
Carter, who served as the 39th president of the United States from 1977 to 1981, became the longest-living president in American history. His presidency was marked by numerous foreign policy challenges, and he was defeated in his bid for re-election by Ronald Reagan.
In recent months, Carter had been receiving hospice care at home after medical treatment for various health issues, including melanoma that had spread to his liver and brain.
The Carter Center shared the news of his passing on social media, stating: “Our founder, former US President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia.”
After leaving the White House, Carter became known for his extensive humanitarian work, which earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. His legacy continues to inspire efforts for global peace and human rights.
