Whether we’re working to end hunger, tackle climate change, or expand access to education – now more than ever – we need smart committed young people to show the world the way forward through the challenges we face. #G7

I'm in Zambia, where a historic #ElNiño drought has cost the country half of its harvest. In the region’s breadbasket, 6.6 million people face acute hunger. World Food Programme and our partners are responding but urgently need resources to do more.

Thank you @AndrewMorley_WV for having me at the World Vision board meeting.

Together, World Food Programme & World Vision reached over 16.6M vulnerable people in 31 countries last year. Our strong partnership will keep saving and changing lives.

Today, we mark International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia. #IDAHOBIT

Lovely to connect with Tony O. Elumelu, CFR, visionary leader and a catalyst for change across Africa. We share a common goal of empowering the next generation. Thank you for all you do, Tony – can’t wait to do more together.

Excellent meetings with David Cameron & Rt Hon Andrew Mitchell MP.

The massive humanitarian needs in Gaza, Sudan & Ukraine are urgent, and we’re working together to respond to the most critical food security crises around the world. Thank you, United Kingdom, for your partnership. 🇬🇧

#R4Today

Great to be in London to meet with leaders, advocates, and partners who are committed to our shared mission of #ZeroHunger . From policy collaboration to technical expertise, the UK’s steadfast support fuels World Food Programme's mission for a less hungry and more resilient world.

Devastated to learn of the death and injury of United Nations team members in Gaza yesterday. World Food Programme stands united with the global humanitarian community in mourning our 190+ colleagues killed in Gaza. Aid workers are not – and should never be – a target. #NotATarget

Lifesaving humanitarian work depends on the safe, unhindered, movement of humanitarian supplies and people.

The World Food Programme team in Rome rallied for Komen Italia's Race for the Cure. Together, we walked and ran with a purpose: raising awareness for breast cancer & promoting a healthier future for all.

Bone-chilling reporting on #Rafah and the unconscionable suffering of children, many who are malnourished, thirsty, sick or injured.
 
Children are dying.

We need full aid access.
 
Gaza needs a ceasefire.

Heartbreaking reports in The Washington Post. People are living through hell on earth. #Rafah is a key entry point for humanitarian aid into Gaza. All entry points must remain open & aid must flow from north to south to everyone who needs it. washingtonpost.com/world/2024/05/…

#ClimateAction #foodsecurity

Devastating climate events fuel hunger and disrupt food systems, hitting hardest in places that contribute least to climate change.

Thanks to #AfricanClimateRoundtable for having me share how World Food Programme & partners like African Risk Capacity Group are working together towards solving these problems.
