Attacks on aid workers are unacceptable and unconscionable. All of Gaza is hungry, and humanitarians must be able to safely do our jobs. Wolf Blitzer #NotATarget

Honored to formally assume the role of USUNRome Ambassador and get to work. My focus: relentless diplomacy to address an unprecedented global food security crisis and fight hunger. There has never been a more important time for 🇺🇸 leadership and collaboration on food security,

Cindy McCain, the executive director of the United Nations’ World Food Program (WFP) sounded the alarm on hunger in Haiti as gang violence rages on in the Caribbean nation.

'“It’s catastrophic...,' she said. trib.al/LmcTgm5

I am shocked and heartbroken by the tragic deaths of the World Central Kitchen team while delivering lifesaving food aid in Gaza. This attack on our humanitarian community is unacceptable. The safety of aid workers is paramount, as is the safety of those who come to receive aid. #NotATarget

🟡 Amid a deepening security crisis, hunger has reached unprecedented levels in #Haiti .

🟡 5 million people - almost half the population - are struggling to feed themselves.

WFP Country Director Jean-Martin Bauer shares 3 key insights following the latest @theipcinfo data ⤵️

Here’s a look at one of the seven World Food Programme central kitchens in Port-au-Prince.

Today, we plan to provide 20k hot meals to people who have had to flee their homes.

From Gaza City, WFP's Matthew Hollingworth explains malnutrition among children is proceeding at record pace.

Only 11 WFP convoys with food have reached the north since the start of the year.

The choice is clear: surge or starvation.

Yesterday’s report from The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification makes clear that famine is imminent in northern Gaza.

Partners like World Food Programme & UNICEF stand ready to scale up our response. With a humanitarian ceasefire and safe, sustained access – together, we can halt famine.

But time is running out.

Over 1 million people in Gaza – half the population – are facing catastrophic hunger and starvation.

To prevent outright famine, World Food Programme and partners need safe, immediate and full access to the north.

'For us, famine is the 'F' word,' says WFP chief economist Arif Husain as The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification releases a new report on Gaza. “If we are going to avoid these famines, the easiest way would be to stop the conflicts.'

Famine – even in northern #Gaza – could still be averted. We need:

🔴 An immediate stop to the fighting
🔴 Full access for aid organizations to reach the entire civilian population

A declaration of #famine means it’s too late. We must act now to save thousands of lives.

𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 | 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.

Humanitarian needs in Haiti are skyrocketing.

World Food Programme is on the ground responding and ready to do more, but we need to be able to do so safely.

I’m calling on the international community to come together to provide urgent support.
