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

On #WorldFoodDay we think of the families who go to bed hungry. In #Afghanistan, #Somalia, #Syria and around the world, millions of people no longer receive World Food Programme food assistance because of funding shortfalls. Hunger in 2023 is unacceptable. We need the world to step up.

#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.

#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.

Central African Republic is doing everything right: building up local food systems, supporting farmers, investing in school meals. World Food Programme is at the forefront of these efforts. But without support, this progress could reverse. The world must step up for peace and development.

Pasé un día inspirador aquí en #México. México tiene una voz influyente en la alimentación escolar y es un firme defensor de la seguridad alimentaria mundial. Es un aliado estratégico para el World Food Programme en la promoción de la paz y el multilateralismo.

In El-Obeid I saw fear, loss & desperation. Once a thriving city, now home to displacement camps lacking shelter, food & water, and risk of more fighting. Sudan's war is spreading, millions risk losing access to aid. Urgent action and resources needed. My interview with CNN

Ahead of #UNGA81, I spent 8 days across Sudan. Conflict and climate are driving hunger faster than the response can keep up. I'm bringing these stories to NY this week, to urge leaders to keep food security at the center of conversations. Waiting for famine is a failure of duty.

Humanitarians can save lives, but many of the challenges we face to deliver are political. Today, EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺, Ireland, Brazil and Jordan brought us together on how Member Statses can use humanitarian diplomacy to advance humanitarian action and protect humanitarian space. #UNGA81

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.

Back in Tawila camp. Survivors of El Fasher, now surviving on only aid. Camp expanded more since I was last here 3 months ago. I see the progress when we have the resources and access: World Food Programme supporting nearly 700,000 people every month with food or cash. But it's still not enough.

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.

In Yemen this week. Fighting has escalated again, deepening a hunger crisis already among the world's worst. Half the population faces acute hunger. Families have few options left. World Food Programme lacks the funding and access to reach everyone.

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.

In Aden today. A few kilometers from Bab Al-Mandeb Strait - another vital global trade route disrupted by conflict, driving up food prices around the world. Half the population in #Yemen faces hunger. Global food routes must stay open. The world cannot afford another choke point.

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.

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. 🎧

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!
