Conflict is driving displacement & hunger to record levels in eastern DRC. GBV is rampant. Humanitarian needs outstrip resources, forcing dire choices on women and girls. @iascc is calling on the world’s leaders to step up. The people of DRC deserve better.

In the past month, @WFP supported 300,000+ people with food in #Darfur , including 40,000 in El Fasher, which was previously hard to access. Today, rising violence is restricting humanitarian aid once again. We must be able to reach those who need us most in #Sudan .

Conflict drives hunger in nearly all of the major emergencies in which WFP is responding. Nearly seven out of ten of the most acutely food insecure people in 2024 live in fragile or conflict-affected situations.

Extreme hunger is surging in many parts of the world, driven by conflict, climate and spiraling economies. Famine is on the horizon for millions. But, food insecurity isn’t inevitable. If we leverage our expertise and partnerships, lasting solutions are possible. #GRFC24

🆕Acute hunger rose for the fourth year in a row, while funding to address needs is dwindling. In the newest Global Report on #FoodCrises , learn where and why conflicts, climate and economic shocks are driving people into extreme levels of food insecurity. #GRFC24

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.

Despite ongoing unrest in #Haiti , WFP has been scaling up and assisting communities affected by the violence. The country is facing its highest levels of food insecurity on record, WFP's @CarlSkau explains ⬇️ from the ground.

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.

🆕🫓3 bakeries in northern #Gaza are back up and running after WFP convoys delivered much-needed fuel and flour this week. These are the only bakeries working in the north, where families are facing the real possibility of #famine without more urgent assistance.

Grateful to see the world unite for Sudan and its neighbors by committing $2.1B for critical humanitarian needs. With 28M people acutely hungry across the region, sustained support is desperately needed. Thank you 🇫🇷🇩🇪&🇪🇺 for your leadership and all of those who pledged support.

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.

South Sudan was already facing its own hunger crisis with over 7 million people facing severe hunger. The world has long been a friend of the Sudanese and South Sudanese people – this is not the time to turn away.

I spent the day with world leaders at the International Humanitarian Conference for Sudan and its neighbors in Paris. Participating in meetings, far from the violence and starvation ravaging the region, I can’t stop thinking of the families I met last month.

I’m in #SouthSudan where over 600k people have crossed from Sudan, fleeing the war, and thousands more are fleeing every week. @WFP can only assist less than 40% who urgently need our help in South Sudan. We need $400m for the regional Sudan response to stem the tide of hunger.

Overcoming the challenges in Sudan requires collective action. It's time for the international community to step up, ensuring unfettered humanitarian access and much-needed funding. My op-ed with @UNReliefChief , UNHCR's @FilippoGrandi & @unicefchief :

After several trials, @WFP & @UNOPS delivered fuel to a bakery in #GazaCity today to start producing #bread . Bakeries have been idle for months due to conflict & lack of access. They need consistent flour & diesel deliveries & we need safe & sustained access to prevent famine

We cannot #EndHunger alone, which is why partnerships are essential to @WFP ’s work. The private sector can be a big part of the solution, and places like the Philippines show just how much we can do together to turn the tide against hunger and malnutrition. @sunstaronline
