Former US President Jimmy Carter, Nobel laureate, dies at 100

Former US President Jimmy Carter, a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, has died at the age of 100. Carter, a Democrat, won the presidential election in 1976 and served as the 39th US president between 1977 and 1981. He brokered the 1978 Camp David accords between Israel and its longtime archrival Egypt and contributed to peace in the Middle East.

The following year, Carter established diplomatic ties with China and normalized bilateral relations. Carter established the Carter Center in 1982 and energetically worked to solve conflicts around the world and improve human rights in developing nations.

The oldest former US President had received hospice care at his home in Georgia since February 2023 and spent his remaining time with members of his family. The Carter Center said that he died on Sunday afternoon local time with them by his side.
