Thank you United Against Malnutrition & Hunger (UAMH), Lord Jonny Oates & RUSI for the opportunity to discuss the link between conflict and #hunger. Since 2019 hunger has almost tripled, fuelled by a dramatic increase in conflict around the world. We need a long-term focus on conflict prevention.

Thanks David Lammy for highlighting the urgency of the crisis in #Sudan. Safe delivery of vital aid is a critical first step to expanding access and preventing famine. Sudan must not be forgotten.

London is also a key hub for international broadcasting. Thanks to BBC News (World), Sky News and The Economist for drawing attention to the crisis in #Sudan. World Food Programme is scaling up, with some 700 trucks of food currently on the road to 14 hunger hotspot locations. But more is needed.

Thank you David Lammy for taking the time to travel to Chad to meet refugees fleeing conflict and the world’s largest humanitarian crisis - Sudan. “We cannot have a hierarchy of conflict with this conflict at the bottom.”

📍WFP is rapidly responding to an influx of newly arrived refugees in #Burundi. The crisis in eastern DR Congo is forcing families to seek safety in neighbouring countries, putting significant strain on WFP food assistance programmes.
