"People need to eat." Thousands of people are homeless and displaced in earthquake-affected #Syria, WFP's Kenn Crossley tells Isa Soares. WFP teams are working with partners to reach all those in need.
📍In a country where 12 million ppl require food assistance, Kenn Crossley takes us to what used to be a warehouse filled with food in Latakia before the earthquakes. Despite many challenges, World Food Programme has reached 1 million ppl with food assistance in #Syria since the quake hit.

Once again, the fighting in #Gaza has resumed and people are being displaced. There is nowhere to go and nothing to eat. A 7-day pause allowed World Food Programme to expand assistance, but it's not enough. Lasting peace is crucial to prevent further suffering. The fighting must stop.
