People I spoke to in #Myanmar shared their inspiring stories of resiliency after losing their homes to the conflict as the country faces unprecedented levels of #hunger. World Food Programme supports food insecure communities around the country - assisting 1.5 million people this year.
"No one’s harvested enough. And there’s nowhere to run to." In #Malawi, farmers point the way as El Niño driven drought pushes up hunger levels. World Food Programme solar-powered water irrigation projects are helping farmers adapt. Read how👇 wfp.org/stories/tale-t…
