Impressed by the service of social workers and moved by people's testimonies while visiting Bourj Hammoud Social Development Center with @CarlSkau . Glad to partner with @WFP & @mosalebofficial to deliver cash transfers when they are most needed.

Busy day w @bjerde_anna in Beirut to see how @WFP & @WorldBank can boost support to Government-led social safety nets. At this centre, WFP provides cash assistance to families hit by the economic crisis. So impressed by the dedication of the social workers we met - true heroes.

By providing school meals to over 100k children in Lebanon, @WFP boosts nutrition, education, the local economy, and women's empowerment 🇱🇧. Great to visit Beirut today and meet with @MeheLebanon and some of the people we serve. Wish we could support even more schools.

Thank you, US Congress, for the overwhelming bipartisan support for robust emergency humanitarian funding. With some 300 million people severely food insecure around the world, @WFP stands ready to deliver assistance quickly, strategically and where it is needed most.

As troubled by the hunger I saw during my Haiti visit, as inspired I was by its rebellious history & strength of Haitians. They need more international support to overcome this complex crisis. @WFP 5-star team staying & delivering food, cash & school meals to some 500k ppl/month.

In northern Gaza, this is what humanitarian access looks like: fuel, flour & now bread for families who haven’t had it in months. An important step, but a drop in the bucket. @WFP and our partners need accelerated access into & across Gaza to prevent the possibility of famine.

Climate extremes, conflict, and inflation have created a perfect storm of crises in #Ethiopia . WFP has reached 3 million people so far this year. More support is needed to help communities cope today and break the cycle of urgent needs, says WFP's @CarlSkau ⤵️

Conflict is at the root of the hunger crisis in the Sudan region. @WFP urgently needs: 1.⁠ ⁠Access 2.⁠ ⁠Funding Without worldwide attention and immediate financial support, the future of the entire region is at stake.

In Geneva for the #Ethiopia High-Level Pledging Event. With our revamped program @WFP has reached over 3 million people hit by acute food insecurity due to conflict & climate change. More funding needed to sustain & scale up aid, and invest in efforts to break the cycle of needs.

One year ago, conflict broke out in #Sudan , threatening the stability of an entire region. Since then, we’ve stayed engaged and continued to support the people of Sudan. Today, we're stepping up our work with @UNICEF & @WFP to preserve basic services and community resilience.

Visited @UNHRD Brindisi together with @WFP Executive Board. This WFP-managed platform offers supply chain solutions so UN and humanitarians can deliver in emergencies, from #Gaza to #Sudan . Impressive team! Good example of how we can collaborate in this time of growing crises.

After several trials, @WFP & @UNOPS delivered fuel to a bakery in #Gaza to start producing bread. Bakeries have been unable to operate for several months due to conflict and lack of access. We need safe & sustained access to prevent famine.

New figures covering the direct cost of damage to critical infrastructure in #Gaza released today: $18.5 billion, as of January. Close to 100% of GDP of the West Bank and Gaza. The conditions are extremely hard for the civilian population of Gaza.
