Conflicts are disrupting the movement of food, fuel and fertilizer through the Strait of Hormuz, the Red Sea and the Black Sea. Disruptions in any one of these routes can affect global markets. When all three face pressure, tens of millions more people are at risk of hunger. www.wfp.org/stories/what-do-disruptions-ma...
📍#SouthSudan: Up to 3,000 refugees and returnees continue to arrive from Sudan every week. Esraa is one of them. WFP cash assistance helps her feed her family. 🆘Without urgent support, food and nutrition assistance for the most vulnerable refugee families could come to an end…
📍 When roads are blocked, WFP finds another way. For the first time in an emergency operation in #Nepal, WFP is deploying humanitarian cargo drones to carry food to communities cut off by devastating floods. After the 2015 earthquake, WFP reached remote mountain communities us…
#Nepal: Humanitarian cargo drones are helping deliver food assistance across the last mile. Recent flash floods damaged roads and bridges, leaving many communities cut off from support. By combining trucks, helicopters and humanitarian drone technology, WFP is expanding the re…

The Strait of Hormuz, Bab-el-Mandeb and the Black Sea help keep food, fuel and fertilizer moving around the world. Conflict is constricting the flow of these essentials, increasing costs, affecting harvests and deepening hunger. ⏩
How can conflict thousands of miles away affect what’s on our plates? Three critical trade routes are under pressure, disrupting the flow of food, fuel and fertilizer - driving up costs and putting harvests at risk. WFP Economist Susanna Sandström explains ⤵️
📍 #Haiti: In communities already facing hunger and instability, extreme weather events can wipe out local food sources. WFP is working alongside the Government and communities to strengthen local food systems — improving infrastructure and helping families produce and access th…
In northern #Kenya, food grown by local farmers is helping @WFP_Kenya provide school meals to thousands of learners at over 550 schools. As families recover from drought, reliable school meals help children stay ready to learn. 🥬✏️💙
WFP assistance helps displaced families in the West Bank afford the basic food they need each day. Now, severe funding constraints put that support at risk. WFP’s Shaun Hughes explains what the cuts could mean for families like Aysha’s. ⤵️
📍Cuts to humanitarian assistance are coming at a time of escalating needs in the #WestBank. Due to severe funding constraints, 200,000 people will lose access to critical food, cash, nutrition or livelihood assistance in the coming months.

🚨How many chokepoints can the world withstand before we're completely suffocated? From the Strait of Hormuz to the Red Sea and Black Sea, conflict is disrupting global trade and threatening to push millions more people into hunger. At the UN Security Council, Acting @WFPChief
Ukraine is one of the world’s biggest food producers. Yet 20km from the frontline, getting food isn’t always easy. 1 in 5 households don’t have reliable access to markets, and 1 in 8 have no market access at all. For them, @WFPUkraine food boxes become a lifeline.
The failed rainy season in #Uganda has left over 600,000 people food insecure in the Karamoja region alone. WFP-supported assistance, delivered before the drought peaked, has helped families buy food and cushion themselves against the worst impacts. As #ElNino now worsens condi…
Across some of the #Sahel’s toughest landscapes, communities are bringing degraded land back and improving food security. Now, at #COP17 that work has been recognized by @UNEP as one of the world’s Restoration Flagships, highlighting the power of restoring degraded land to build…
Conflict drives hunger. Hunger fuels instability. And the cycle is accelerating. From Somalia to crises worldwide, conflict is taking away people’s homes, livelihoods and access to food, leaving families with impossible choices. Acting @WFPChief Carl Skau urges the UN Security…
⚠️ The warning signs are already here. In places like Afghanistan, @WFPChief Carl Skau met mothers who walk for hours with malnourished children, only to find clinics with nothing to give them. Speaking to the UN Security Council, he urged governments to step up and reverse the…
Conflict remains the leading driver of acute hunger worldwide. From Sudan to Palestine, Haiti and Somalia, conflict is destroying food systems, disrupting markets and forcing families from their homes. 🛑 ✋ It's time to break the cycle. We cannot accept hunger as the price of w…
Hunger is NOT a weapon. Conflict remains one of the biggest drivers of hunger and malnutrition worldwide. UN Resolution 2417 is a landmark resolution that condemns the use of starvation as a weapon of war.
Healthy soils, healthy diets. As UNCCD #COP17 gets underway, see how land restoration techniques are bringing degraded land back to life. Across the #Sahel, WFP supports ecosystem restoration to improve food production, strengthen livelihoods and build more resilient food syst…

#Uganda: Paulina's grain store once held enough food to feed her family. By June of this year, it stood empty. Across the Karamoja region, early support from WFP and the Government helped families prepare before the worst impacts of drought hit. #ElNiño is expected to bring mo…
#ElNiño could push 49 million more people into acute hunger by the end of 2027. Many of the risks can be forecast, giving us a chance to act before they become food crises. Watch WFP’s Aysenur explain what the numbers mean and why we should pay attention ⤵️
📍#Somalia: Nearly 2 million children are facing acute malnutrition, while conflict, displacement and drought continue to push families deeper into crisis. Yet this WFP warehouse stands empty, and @WFP_Somalia teams can barely support 1 in 10 people in acute need. More support…
#Colombia: WFP teams have been supporting government-led relief and recovery efforts. Operations are expanding as @WFP_Colombia deploys food stocks and leverages its network of field offices and logistics hubs in Cali, Quibdó and Medellín to reach affected communities.
📍#Somalia: When drought forced Sabiriin from her home, she brought her young son, Yacub, to Mogadishu in search of support. Today, she visits a health centre supported by @WFP_Somalia. Amid drought, displacement, conflict and rising costs converge, families like Sabiriin's are…
Humanitarian action is a vital lifeline for millions of people, but it's about more than delivering aid. In #Syria, WFP's Nour understands mothers' deep desire for their children to grow healthy and strong. “To me, humanitarian work means standing by people when they need us m…
They clock in long hours delivering food assistance. They mourn friends, family, homes and pasts buried. On #WorldHumanitarianDay – two months after powerful, back-to-back earthquakes struck #Venezuela – WFP pays tribute to humanitarians on the frontlines of the country’s respon…
It's #WorldHumanitarianDay. Behind every humanitarian response are thousands of people working together to make it happen, from drivers, pilots and warehouse teams to engineers, nutrition specialists and emergency responders. Today, and every day, we honour them and their comm…
When humanitarian workers are attacked, communities lose access to the assistance they depend on. We honour the people who show up every day to deliver food, water, healthcare and other life-saving support in the world's toughest crises. Humanitarian workers are not a target. T…
📍#Colombia: WFP is scaling up emergency food assistance. More than 2,000 people received assistance in Pereira and Quibdó on Sunday alone, with food stocks moving through hubs in Cali, Quibdó and Medellín. Even before the quake, close to 7M people in Colombia faced moderate or…

In a time of escalating global crises, humanitarian workers continue to do what few others can: deliver life-saving aid in some of the world’s most volatile and dangerous places. But that dedication is coming at an unacceptable cost. Aid workers are being killed, injured, detai…
📍#SouthSudan: Food and nutrition assistance for 240,000 refugees could stop in September as funding runs out. With new arrivals continuing from Sudan each week and rainy-season access challenges growing, refugee families could face even deeper hunger without immediate support.
🆘 #SouthSudan: Food and nutrition assistance for hundreds of thousands of refugees could end in September due to funding shortfalls, WFP and @Refugees are warning. For families already living on the edge, losing this support would mean deeper hunger and greater risks. 🔗
📍#Colombia: Communities already facing conflict, displacement and food insecurity are now confronting another shock. WFP is mobilizing support for the Government-led response and stands ready to help families affected by the earthquake to meet urgent needs.
