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

#HappeningNow: We're rolling! World Food Programme trucks on the move in #Turkiye, carrying enough food for 17,000 people impacted by the earthquake. Final destination: Osmaniye Cevdetiye camp, where thousands of families have taken shelter after losing their homes.

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.

From near #Ukraine's frontline, where insecurity is worsening and food is often few kilometres away but too dangerous for people to reach. I met families living under daily shelling & the World Food Programme teams & local partners who keep showing up to deliver food and cash despite the risks.

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.

#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.

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.

My BBC News (World) interview from a shelter in Zolochiv, Kharkiv, after drone activity forced us there mid-food distribution. World Food Programme supports Ukrainian families on the frontline, but civilian and humanitarian casualties are increasing. The human cost of this war can't be an afterthought.

El Obeid is a warning, we've seen this before and cannot see it again. Violence and hunger are rising. In the gap between what World Food Programme can do and what funding allows, people are left behind. The world must act to end this war and support #Sudan. My interview with قناة الجزيرة.

The first 72 hours are critical. As rescue teams work to find survivors, World Food Programme teams are pre-positioning food and lending our logistics capacity to support a full response for the people of #Venezuela. I spoke to BBC News (World) on the situation and need for fast action.

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.

Not a day has gone by the last three years that I haven’t been inspired by our World Food Programme team. From conflicts to natural disasters, they show up every day. They put their lives on hold—and often at risk—in service of others. I could not be more proud of their dedication and bravery.

In Hamburg with Bundesentwicklungsministerium and Catherine Russell to back the Call to Action to end child malnutrition through food fortification - a simple, powerful tool. World Food Programme brings the expertise to scale it. No child should go to bed hungry. Thanks to Germany for bringing us together. #HSC26

Conflict, the #ClimateCrisis and soaring prices are wreaking havoc in #SouthSudan — and now a historic 7.7 million people need food assistance. That's why FAO Director-General QU Dongyu, Alvaro Lario and I are calling for urgent investment to address emergency needs & the root causes of hunger:

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.

Conflict and hunger are exploding in South Sudan. 1.2M people have already been displaced and the fighting shows no signs of stopping. World Food Programme is doing whatever it takes to deliver life-saving food to those most in need—but aid workers must be protected and safe access guaranteed.

Back in Jerusalem with our team. Gaza remains brutal, the West Bank is deteriorating. Our teams reach over a million Palestinians every month with food, but progress is fragile without sustained access, shelter and medicine. There is no recovery without an end to this conflict.

This is what progress looks like. Sarah used to rely on World Food Programme food assistance. Now she runs her own farm, feeds her family & sells the surplus. Thousands more across Kenya are doing the same. Resilience programs don’t just transform lives—they reduce the need for aid altogether.

The Taliban just said women cannot work for the United Nations in #Afghanistan. That makes our job nearly impossible. Women are the backbone of World Food Programme—we have 9,600 working on the frontlines of hunger worldwide. While millions of Afghans face starvation, this is simply unacceptable.

Humanitarians are under attack. In Ukraine. In Gaza. In Sudan. Everywhere we're needed most. If we don't feed people, we feed conflict. This is why food security is national security—and the world needs to treat it that way. Thank you, PBS News for the critical conversation.
