⚠️1 in 3 people need urgent humanitarian assistance in the Sahel, according to @OCHAROWCA report released today. Desertification, floods, insecurity are driving hunger in the region. The world needs to pay attention to #SahelNow .

Musicians & artists have the power to move people. At #Coachella with @CoreResponse we brought together @PaulBeaubrun , @wayuuprincess and many more to discuss how they can help fight famine. In the fight against hunger, we need everyone on board.

Today in Goma I met families displaced multiple times by conflict. As they are trying to rebuild their lives, they need continuous support. Now is not the time to forget the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Because of climate change, the Horn of Africa could be trapped in a cycle of hunger and displacement causing suffering for years. Solutions exist: we need to invest in climate resilience to prevent future disasters.

Only 3% of funding for climate solutions go to women led-businesses. If women had equal resources and opportunities, up to 150 million more people would no longer go hungry. Women are key to the fight against the climate and hunger crises. #AfricaClimateWeek

We are in Southern Madagascar where communities are preparing for the drought, with support from Government, UN and partners. El Niño is hitting an area already affected by climate change. It’s crucial to act now.
