In northern Gaza, this is what humanitarian access looks like: fuel, flour & now bread for families who havenโt had it in months.
An important step, but a drop in the bucket. World Food Programme and our partners need accelerated access into & across Gaza to prevent the possibility of famine.

#Syria SOM today in Brussels. My message: we must increase funds to reach at least the 3m severely food insecure people that need World Food Programme to survive. Early recovery frees up humanitarian funds, buffers shocks and helps transition people off our assistance. We can't forget Syria
At the SOM for #Ukraine in Brussels. The message is clear: the humanitarian situation is concerning & needs attention + recovery efforts in parallel. Both need funding.
Localisation is core to World Food Programme's work. We will save lives & help restore local systems as long as needed.
My deepest condolences to the World Central Kitchen team for the tragic killing of their colleagues. The number of humanitarian workers in #Gaza that have died saving the lives of innocent civilians is simply unacceptable. #NotATarget
We appreciate all humanitarian efforts to bring desperately needed food to #Gaza as we all work around the clock to try & avert famine.
World Central Kitchen is an important food security partner, & World Food Programme is glad to support when needed.
Over 1 million people in Gaza โ half the population โ are facing catastrophic hunger and starvation.
To prevent outright famine, World Food Programme and partners need safe, immediate and full access to the north.
๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ญ๐ | WFP delivered enough food for 25,000 people to Gaza City early Tuesday in first successful convoy to the north since 20 February.
With people in northern #Gaza on the brink of famine, we need deliveries every day + we need entry points directly into the north.
๐คWomen are leaders
๐Women are caregivers

When women & girls have better access to education, decision-making & economic opportunities, the result is increased food security for their families and communities. #WomensDay
