Impressed by our World Food Programme team's tireless work to support Ethiopians. Two parallel realities in this fascinating country. WFP gives life-saving food & cash to the most vulnerable, but also longer term support so people can be self-reliant. Focusing on the people & getting things done

School meals in #Ethiopia are a high impact investment that strengthen food systems & secure children’s education. We must continue to invest in school meals to create long-term benefits for children like Mehiret & Abay, families & local agriculture.

In Benishangul-Gumuz region, World Food Programme is supporting refugees from #Sudan with cash assistance to complement the food assistance they receive. This gives refugee families the choice to cover any other immediate needs & buy fresh food. Hear more from our colleague Frederick ▶️

Last year, WFP Ethiopia reached 8.6 million people despite conflict, displacement, weather and economic shocks. Watch the video below to see what we accomplished. Thanks to the support from all of our donors who made this possible!

We’re grateful for the support we’ve received from our donors - but time is running out and we urgently need new funding commitments before millions are pushed further into hunger and malnutrition. Read this World Food Programme news update: wfp.org/news/wfp-warns…

UPDATE: Happy we received indication of additional commodities for WFP nutrition activities in 🇪🇹, which could delay immediate pipeline break. Will continue to advocate for funding & work with the Gov't to assess needs & adjust prioritised target numbers, based on resources.

The Logistics Cluster is the backbone of the humanitarian response in Ethiopia - delivering thousands of tons of food & other lifesaving supplies every week. This enables the Govt, WFP & all humanitarian actors to deliver to the most vulnerable people in the hardest to reach areas.

.World Food Programme is on the ground in Ethiopia, delivering essential food assistance to those most in need. Families like Abrehet's, who have been displaced, are receiving the support they desperately need. WFP needs more funding to keep supporting the most vulnerable communities in 🇪🇹.
