In the world’s largest refugee camps, we don’t just deliver food. We support skills, provide tools, and offer hope. 🌱♻️ Through gardening, aquaculture, and upcycling, Rohingya families are making the most of limited resources to improve their diets & care for their environment.

As the international community gathers for the Senior Officials Meeting on Afghanistan, humanitarian needs continue unabated. Massive funding gaps are forcing programmes to shut down & halting lifesaving services. We urge donors to continue to support & step up where possible.

Diplomats, NGOs & UN are meeting in Brussels to discuss assistance in #Afghanistan at the Senior Officials Meeting. WFP’s message is very clear: The Afghan people need the world’s attention, solidarity and support.

In #Afghanistan, winter isolates communities behind snow and ice. 15 million people will soon need lifesaving food assistance, but right now, WFP lacks the funds to pre-position supplies. Time is running out. Lives are at risk. We must act now.

On Bhasan Char, WFP’s resilience programme now includes rice fortification - with Rohingya refugees leading this vital work. By fortifying rice on the island, we cut logistics costs and create income and job opportunities for the community. #WFPBD50
