After several trials, World Food Programme & UNOPS delivered fuel to a bakery in #Gaza to start producing bread. Bakeries have been unable to operate for several months due to conflict and lack of access. We need safe & sustained access to prevent famine.

Aijan's community in #Kyrgyzstan relies mainly on their livestock to earn a living. But drought is jeopardizing their way of life. WFP-supported insurance and trainings are ensuring 4,000 people in this remote region can protect themselves from climate risks.

In crises, WFP and UNICEF assess and respond to cases of malnutrition. But when people are cut off by conflict or disaster, what do we do? Our #nutrition experts have created a new method to analyze malnutrition crises, so we can respond effectively in any given context.

A great development as WFP Ecuador (Programa Mundial de Alimentos) signs an agreement with the Govt of Ecuador to pilot a school meals project in 14 educational units. Not only will this provide better outcomes for children, but also better outcomes for local farmers.

I received school meals throughout my school years in Sudan, so I can vouch for the impact they have. I wouldn’t be here today if I hadn’t finished school, and those meals were a key part of that. School feeding is more than nutrition–it helps ensure children stay in school.

🌡️Rising temperatures 🌧️Changing rainfall 🌀Extreme shocks These are lowering crop yields, reducing productivity and driving up food prices. It's time to strengthen our #FoodSystems, enabling our food producers to anticipate and adapt. #ClimateAction

Conflict, climate change and skyrocketing food prices have left 32 million Nigerians food insecure. In northeast Nigeria, I’ve seen first-hand the immense needs, and incredible work the World Food Programme is doing.

School meals are such an important part of the work that WFP does. On this #InternationalDayoftheGirlChild it’s particularly meaningful to see the difference that a school meal makes to a student like Grace.
