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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

After several trials, World Food Programme & UNOPS delivered fuel to a bakery in today to start producing . Bakeries have been idle for months due to conflict & lack of access.
They need consistent flour & diesel deliveries & we need safe & sustained access to prevent famine

We cannot alone, which is why partnerships are essential to World Food Programme’s work. The private sector can be a big part of the solution, and places like the Philippines show just how much we can do together to turn the tide against hunger and malnutrition. SunStar Philippines

Honored to visit the The Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm last week to donate a gift on behalf of World Food Programme as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. The grain sack & cash card symbolize our mission to combat hunger and improve conditions for peace.
