WFP is concerned about the closure of #KeremShalom & Rafah crossings, posing challenges for aid delivery.

🔴 Current World Food Programme stocks only cover 1-4 days of needs in #Rafah , #DeirAlBalah & #KhanYounis .

Thank you Nicholas Kristof for highlighting World Food Programme & UNICEF’s incredible partnership at Milken Institute #MIGlobal . I agree it’s one of the greatest success stories in humanitarian work and I couldn’t be prouder. #SchoolMeals

Excited to be with Ann Veneman & The New York Times Nicholas Kristof at
Milken Institute's #MIGlobal conference to discuss pressing challenges facing our world and how World Food Programme is addressing them.

Conflict is driving displacement & hunger to record levels in eastern DRC. GBV is rampant. Humanitarian needs outstrip resources, forcing dire choices on women and girls. kassandra is calling on the world’s leaders to step up. The people of DRC deserve better.

WFP teams are on the ground supporting communities around the world to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disaster.

Because a world without hunger is a dream we all share. #ZeroHunger

Thank you Michael McCaul Ann Wagner Congresswoman Madeleine Dean for visiting World Food Programme to see how the world's largest humanitarian organization deploys our teams, resources and food to #Haiti #Gaza #Sudan & other emergencies. We are grateful to have strong, bipartisan champions like you in Congress.

In the past month, World Food Programme supported 300,000+ people with food in #Darfur , including 40,000 in El Fasher, which was previously hard to access. Today, rising violence is restricting humanitarian aid once again.

We must be able to reach those who need us most in #Sudan .

Conflict drives hunger in nearly all of the major emergencies in which WFP is responding.

Nearly seven out of ten of the most acutely food insecure people in 2024 live in fragile or conflict-affected situations.

Extreme hunger is surging in many parts of the world, driven by conflict, climate and spiraling economies. Famine is on the horizon for millions.

But, food insecurity isn’t inevitable. If we leverage our expertise and partnerships, lasting solutions are possible. #GRFC24

Thank you, US Congress, for the overwhelming bipartisan support for robust emergency humanitarian funding.

With some 300 million people severely food insecure around the world, World Food Programme stands ready to deliver assistance quickly, strategically and where it is needed most.

Despite ongoing unrest in #Haiti , WFP has been scaling up and assisting communities affected by the violence.

The country is facing its highest levels of food insecurity on record, WFP's Carl Skau explains ⬇️ from the ground.

Congratulations, Asma Khan. It's admirable how you use your voice to raise awareness of the impact of the global food crisis on women and children. We are so proud to have you on the World Food Programme team.

In northern Gaza, this is what humanitarian access looks like: fuel, flour & now bread for families who haven’t 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.

🆕🫓3 bakeries in northern #Gaza are back up and running after WFP convoys delivered much-needed fuel and flour this week.

These are the only bakeries working in the north, where families are facing the real possibility of #famine without more urgent assistance.

Grateful to see the world unite for Sudan and its neighbors by committing $2.1B for critical humanitarian needs. With 28M people acutely hungry across the region, sustained support is desperately needed. Thank you 🇫🇷🇩🇪&🇪🇺 for your leadership and all of those who pledged support.

Great to see you, Stéphane Séjourné. Thank you for your leadership in bringing the world together for the people of Sudan and its neighbors. World Food Programme is grateful for our partnership with France and we’re looking forward to doing more together.

Conflict is at the root of the hunger crisis in the Sudan region. World Food Programme urgently needs:

1.⁠ ⁠Access
2.⁠ ⁠Funding

Without worldwide attention and immediate financial support, the future of the entire region is at stake.

.World Food Programme needs $400m for our regional Sudan response to stop hunger from spiraling out of control and restore the wider region’s fragile equilibrium.

I spent the day with world leaders at the International Humanitarian Conference for Sudan and its neighbors in Paris. Participating in meetings, far from the violence and starvation ravaging the region, I can’t stop thinking of the families I met last month.
