WFP is delivering monthly food and cash assistance to #Sudanese refugees who fled to 🇪🇹 in search of safety. For families like Fayiza’s, this support is a lifeline. World Food Programme needs additional funding to continue providing this support to almost 1 million refugees across Ethiopia.
When the road ends, UN Humanitarian Air Service takes off! This crucial air service connects aid workers to communities cut off by conflict & disaster—flying 355K passengers to 400 remote locations just last year. At #UNGA80, I’m urging partners to step up & help keep this lifeline in the skies.
No one should ever starve. Not in Gaza. Not in Sudan. Not anywhere. Important discussion with Minister مريم بنت علي المسند on what more can be done to reach the most vulnerable. World Food Programme looks forward to Qatar's continued leadership and humanitarian diplomacy. #UNGA80
Funding cuts and access constraints are fueling starvation worldwide. With a global hunger crisis—including two famines—the world must step up, not back. Thanks for the conversation, Firing Line with Margaret Hoover MargaretHoover #UNGA80
Two years of war in Gaza have brought devastation, displacement, hunger. Amid these unprecedented conditions, World Food Programme remains on the ground, adapting every day to reach families in need. Gaza urgently needs food and aid at scale — and only a ceasefire can make that possible.
This World Food Programme bakery is up & running—and it’s only the beginning. As soon as we get full access in #Gaza, we will immediately mobilize to deliver food for 1.6M people, revive our network of food distribution points, and scale up nutrition for women & children. We’re ready to roll.
Molto contento di aver partecipato ad un incontro con i ragazzi del Liceo Tasso di #Roma organizzato dal World Food Programme (in italiano) e AS Roma . Abbiamo parlato di fame nel Mondo ma soprattutto di soluzioni, e contributi che ognuno di noi può dare a cominciare con ShareTheMeal - UN World Food Programme
A staggering 319 million people worldwide are facing extreme hunger. For millions of people caught up in conflict and crises, food assistance remains a vital lifeline. Thursday is #WorldFoodDay. via World Food Programme
El Fasher is enduring devastating violence. Families are running for their lives, hungry and exhausted. These brutal attacks must end. Now. World Food Programme must be allowed to operate with full independence and neutrality — and stand with the people of Sudan in their time of immense need.
