🆘 #Yemen: Escalating fighting has has displaced more than 149,000 people so far. WFP has reached over 70,000 people in major displacement hotspots and is preparing to support up to 1.5 million if needs rise. But food stocks are depleting rapidly. 🔗

Drawing on its presence in #Panama and its regional humanitarian logistics capabilities based in the country, WFP remains committed to supporting government-led efforts and stands ready to scale up its assistance as needs continue to emerge.

South Sudan has kept its doors open to families fleeing conflict. But as hunger rises and resources run thin, humanitarian support is under growing pressure.

WFP has run out of food in #Gaza as borders crossings remain closed. Two million people inside Gaza rely entirely on food assistance to survive. The situation is at breaking point. We need food to reach Gaza. We need access — now.

Solutions exist to today's global hunger. Food security fosters human potential, economic stability, and resilient communities. It paves the way to a more equitable future. #OurCommonFuture

The suffering in #Gaza is unacceptable. This senseless violence must end.

The Global Report on Food Crises is out — and the data is alarming. Over the past decade: 🔺 Extreme hunger has DOUBLED worldwide 🔺 9x more people now face the most severe form of food insecurity 🔺 Food crises are lasting longer 🔗Learn more:

⚠️ A new report shows the global fallout from the Middle East crisis is pushing millions more people deeper into hunger. 🔴 +2.5M in Somalia 🔴 +2.3M in Afghanistan 🔴 +1.3M in Sri Lanka The impacts are expected to intensify in the coming months, even if the crisis de-escalates.

From Sudan to Gaza, food assistance was a lifeline for millions of families caught in conflict and crisis in 2025. A family food box. A hot meal. A vital source of nutrition. This work can continue thanks to the generosity of our donors. Every bit helps:

🔵 Every day, WFP supply chain is a lifeline — moving food and essential supplies to affected and some of the hardest‑to‑reach places. ✈️🚁🚚 From trucks and ships to helicopters, teams work around the clock to make sure assistance reaches families when it matters most. 🔗

🔴 318 million people faced acute hunger in 2025 as conflict, climate extremes and economic shocks deepened crises around the world. Despite shrinking resources, WFP continued to respond in emergencies while finding smarter, faster ways to reach those most in need. 📖 Read our Annual Review:

The need for a longer-term ceasefire in #Gaza has never been greater. Hunger is spreading widely and people are growing increasingly desperate in their search food. We need more access. We need more supplies. We need lasting peace.

Today WFP joins the UN family to mark a moment of silence to mourn, remember, and honour our colleagues who lost their lives in #Gaza. We are heartbroken. We will continue to remember their work and honour their memories.

🆘 Conflict in the Middle East is disrupting global supply chains. WFP food shipments to Sudan now travel ➡️ 9,000 km further — adding 25 days, higher costs, and more uncertainty for families facing hunger.

🆘The destruction of the #NovaKakhovka dam has caused a humanitarian disaster, as thousands have lost their homes and access to drinking water and food. WFP is distributing ready-to eat foods with partner #Tarilka, delivering 7,000 rations in #Khersonska and #Mykolaivska so far.

This #WorldFoodDay, let’s turn solutions into action. The solutions to get ahead of hunger already exist. With innovation, partnerships and resources, we can reach people faster and help communities prepare for the shocks ahead. Hear from Acting Carl Skau Carl Skau 👇

🚨Escalating conflict in Yemen is cutting off life-saving assistance to 800,000 people in Taiz. WFP is providing emergency assistance where it can and stands ready to scale up as access allows, but safe and sustained humanitarian access, together with urgent funding, is critical.

Families in #Yemen are fleeing escalating fighting, some surviving on bread and soup made from whatever they can find. WFP’s Matthew Hollingworth explains how teams are scaling up, and why urgent funding is needed before stocks run out. ⬇️

Flooded roads and destroyed bridges have left many communities completely isolated. To reach them, WFP Nepal is delivering food and relief items by air. 🚁 Aviation Officer Shahrukh shares how crews navigate rugged mountain terrain to serve people in need, wherever they are.

📍 #Palestine: For many families, daily life is shaped by uncertainty. Unable to earn a living, struggling to put food on the table, and relying on humanitarian assistance, many fear they are being forgotten. WFP's Michele Quintaglie explains why their stories must continue to be heard 👇

🚨WFP is being forced to halve its operation in the West Bank because of severe funding constraints. Today, an estimated 900,000 people are food insecure – with increased settler violence and displacement disrupting livelihoods, deepening hunger and pushing families further into crisis.

#Sudan is still the world's largest hunger crisis. After an eight-day visit to the country, Acting Carl Skau Carl Skau shares what he witnessed and warns that funding shortfalls could force cuts to lifesaving assistance in the weeks ahead. We cannot keep failing the people of Sudan.
