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.
Great to see you, Stéphane Séjourné. Thank you for your leadership in bringing the world together for the people of Sudan and its neighbors. World Food Programme is grateful for our partnership with France and we’re looking forward to doing more together.
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.

.World Food Programme needs $400m for our regional Sudan response to stop hunger from spiraling out of control and restore the wider region’s fragile equilibrium.
After several trials, World Food Programme & UNOPS delivered fuel to a bakery in #GazaCity today to start producing #bread . 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 #EndHunger 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
Solutions to end hunger require immense collaboration, says World Food Programme Executive Director Cindy McCain.
Together with our development partners, we are scaling up investments to improve food security in Asia and the Pacific.
Great meeting with Masatsugu Asakawa in Manila.
Your leadership is critical in tackling food security and climate challenges in the Asia and Pacific Region. Together, we're driving change for the people who need it most. Looking forward to doing even more together.
Excellent meeting with 🇵🇭 President Bongbong Marcos. World Food Programme is proud to be a key partner in building a Philippines free from hunger. Our shared mission drives innovation and action, fortifying the resilience of communities against climate challenges. Salamat.
🌙 Eid Mubarak to all celebrating. Wishing you a blessed Eid filled with the joy of giving and the nourishment of community. #EidAlFitr
Every day I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to lead the world's largest and best humanitarian organization, and inspired by our global team’s resilience, courage and determination. Thank you for an incredible first year as your teammate, World Food Programme.
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.
