This is what hope looks like in Gaza. A handful of World Food Programme-supported bakeries are back in operation. But we need more wheat flour, more fuel, more safe access—so more ovens can fire back up to feed families desperately in need.

I was just in Sudan, one of the hungriest places on Earth, where 25M people face acute hunger. World Food Programme is on the ground delivering lifesaving aid. We urgently need: ▪️Safe humanitarian access ▪️Aid flowing through every border crossing ▪️More global support for vulnerable Sudanese

I'm in Zambia, where a historic #ElNiño drought has cost the country half of its harvest. In the region’s breadbasket, 6.6 million people face acute hunger. World Food Programme and our partners are responding but urgently need resources to do more.

The war in Sudan has caused unimaginable suffering and a devastating scale of hunger. Every day, thousands flee across borders into places like South Sudan and Chad. People desperately need food, shelter, their lives restored, and peace.

When families cannot put food on the table, they face impossible choices: starve, move or rebel. The vicious cycle of hunger & conflict repeats. Humanitarians cannot replace political will. Here are 5 circuit breakers I urged the Security Council to adopt

In Burhakaba, many families are living at risk of famine. Mothers travel for hours along insecure roads for malnutrition treatment. Hunger nearly doubled in #Somalia this year - drought, conflict and rising costs, as funding hits historic lows. Somalia needs support, urgently.

The world is facing a triple chokepoint crisis. Consequences of conflicts are transmitted across borders & seas. Waiting for famine to be declared is a total failure of duty. World Food Programme looks to the Security Council for urgent and concrete action. My remarks at the Security Council 🔽

#Gaza is at a breaking point. I've just seen it myself. World Food Programme operates in conflict zones all over the world. Families in Gaza are starving—and we know how to deliver at scale. We must revive our network of 200+ food distribution points, community kitchens & bakeries ASAP.

With a heavy heart, I announced my intention today to step down as World Food Programme's Executive Director. Leading this incredible organization and our dedicated teams has been the honor of a lifetime. I remain deeply committed to advocating for the millions struggling with hunger worldwide.

Behind every running #Ebola clinic is a supply chain getting help where it's needed. Here is one of many planes loaded in Entebbe, landing in Bunia. World Food Programme-led Logistics Cluster has moved over 1,000 mt of cargo for humanitarian partners. This is what an integrated response looks like.

At this kitchen in #Bunia, women cook daily meals for #Ebola patients and health workers. This is one part of World Food Programme's response to make sure no one has to choose between staying healthy or going hungry. But much more needs to be done, fast, to scale-up and address broader needs.

Conflict. Disrupted sea routes. Rising food prices. A looming El Niño. All while humanitarian resources shrink. I joined #GlobalDispatches with Mark Leon Goldberg to discuss how World Food Programme is responding to growing hunger in every corner of the world. 🎧

Attacks on shipping routes, from the Strait of Hormuz to the Black Sea, are disrupting food supply chains and driving up hunger worldwide. People suffer and humanitarian operations are put at risk. I spoke to CNN about this worrying trend.

Humanitarians deliver lifesaving support in every crisis, often at great personal risk. Today, on #WorldHumanitarianDay, I thank World Food Programme teams for showing up, again and again. We must do more to protect aid workers. Protecting them means protecting every community they serve.

The devastating impacts of the crisis in the Middle East: - World Food Programme's operational costs are up 20%. - 1.5M fewer people are receiving life-saving food. - 45M more people may be pushed into hunger globally. This is the human cost of war. My conversation with Greta Van Susteren at NEWSMAX.

At the Humanitarian Dialogue at United Nations Headquarters with Member States, I emphasized how effective the humanitarian system can be with the right diplomatic and financial backing. We must keep hunger high on the global agenda. Thank you SwedenUN 🇸🇪 for hosting.

75 years ago, the world promised to protect anyone forced to flee. Now, that is being tested. In #Uganda, home to 2 million refugees, funding cuts have forced World Food Programme to cut assistance to half of them. The same is happening around the world. Now is the time to step up support.

These are the first of many trucks amid the ceasefire delivering lifesaving food to 2M people in Gaza in urgent need. We are hopeful to maintain access at scale. Humanitarian aid workers MUST be protected—their safety is absolutely paramount to carry out our lifesaving work.

We cannot stop #ElNiño, but we can stop it becoming a hunger crisis. In #Guatemala, I met farmers fighting to protect this year's harvest from drought and erratic rains. Early warning, tools and training are supporting, but we need global support to sustain and scale up.

FACT: #Sudan has 210 million acres of arable land. But, only 25% of it is being used. While we're on track to help this nation double its wheat production, together we can do SO much more. With private sector support, Sudan could feed not just itself, but the whole world!

Humanitarian aid is finally reaching Gaza, but it’s only a tiny drop in the bucket. World Food Programme has enough food to feed 2M Gazans for two months at the border. We are in a race against time to halt a full-scale famine. We need SAFE, unfettered access NOW. Delays cost lives.
