Today marks my first day as @WFP Executive Director. It’s an honor to join the lifesaving work of this organization and the people behind it. Ending hunger takes all of us. And I’m ready to get to work. www.wfp.org/news/luke-j-lindberg-takes-hel...Mostrar mais

Hunger is not only a humanitarian issue. It is also a challenge to stability, prosperity and peace. If we want a more peaceful and prosperous world, food security must be part of the solution.

Good news from #Gaza: children are back in learning spaces, with fresh fruit to keep them healthy and focused. Seeing them was the highlight of my visit. But with the lack of commercial access over the past week, this progress is under threat. We mustn’t lose it.

As the olive harvest begins, Palestinians in the #WestBank face settler violence, demolitions, economic collapse and now hunger is rising too. Food insecurity doubled and funding gaps have forced @WFP to cut half of those we assist. The world must step up diplomacy and resources.

Now is not the time for support and attention to drop. It is the time to step up, protect the gains made in Gaza, sustain the programs that have helped push back famine, and help families rebuild their lives.

There is no right answer to whose food assistance gets cut when nearly an entire population depends on it. I spoke to @BBCWorld about the impossible choices being made in Gaza and the international support needed now.

Now is not the time to look away from Gaza. It is time to step up, sustain this support, protect the progress made, and push for early recovery. My conversation with @Reuters: www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/world-fo...Mostrar mais

Life in Gaza remains brutal. WFP is being forced to cut monthly assistance for half a million Palestinians just as winter begins, when we should be scaling up. Near one of the meal kitchens in Gaza, I spoke with @AP about what this means for families. apnews.com/video/top-wfp-official-describe...Mostrar mais

The weapons may have changed, but the rules have not. Parties to conflict must still abide by IHL. At today’s #Brussels aid worker protection conference: we need systematic state backing and an end to impunity, in words and action. Thanks @eu_echo and @Ireland2026EU for convening

Amid global crises, @SchoolMeals_ show progress against hunger is possible. 110+ governments. 160+ partners. Proving that partnerships can ensure every child has a healthy school meal by 2030. At today’s Task Force 3rd Ministerial Meeting, we plan the next phase of action.

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

Mis pensamientos están con las familias afectadas tras el terremoto de ayer en Panamá, una noche de incertidumbre. WFP ya está desplegando apoyo logístico para respaldar las labores de socorro de las autoridades y está preparado para brindar más ayuda si fuera necesario.

Excellent meeting with H.E. President @FA_Touadera in Bangui, following our #UNGA talk on the impressive national development plan, built on sustainable food systems and local empowerment. @WFP is a committed partner, starting with school meals. Glad to be here, working together.

On 2 Oct, one of our @WFP colleagues detained in Yemen was released. I am relieved that he is reunited with his family. My thoughts remain with all the humanitarian staff still detained, 37 from WFP. We continue all efforts to secure their immediate and safe release.

This is how we respond fast. Here at the @UNHRD hub in Panama, humanitairan supplies, from @WFP, partners & govs, are stocked and ready to move to anywhere in Latin America and the Caribbean. This is the Integrated Supply Chain in action - we act early, and we act together.

The world is facing a perfect storm of hunger while humanitarian funding is declining. I spoke with @CGTNOfficial about Gaza, Somalia, Sudan & how we are working with partners like #China & private sector to find solutions. www.youtube.com/watch

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 @WFP en la promoción de la paz y el multilateralismo.

Strait of Hormuz, Bab-Al-Mandab, Black Sea - how does conflict in one area impact hunger in another? I explain to @AJEnglish at #UNGA.

Honoured to join FM @jmalbares and @AECID_es Director Victoria Tur Gómez for the signature of its first Strategic Partnership Framework. Together, we are strengthening our commitment to fight hunger, build resilience and deliver impact for vulnerable communities worldwide.

At the @wef Stewardship Board today. Around the table: governments, private sector, civil society. Clear vision for the future, now needs action. Against surging needs and fewer resources, @WFP is ready to step-up. Now we need bolder investments to accelerate effective solutions.

At today's #UNGA Call to Action for Palestinian Children. Children still aren't feeling the dividends of peace. For thousands, daily life is still displacement, looking over their shoulder, unsure about the next meal. Investing in children is investing in the future of Palestine.

With partners today, renewing the call for a durable solution for the Rohingya. Nearly a decade in, but not forgotten. 1.2 million in Cox's Bazar still depend on aid. @WFP supports with food vouchers for choice & dignity. Int'l community needs to continue adequate funding. #UNGAMostrar mais

Insightful meeting with H.E. President @FA_Touadera of the Central African Republic. A champion for school meals, investing in the next generation's health and education. @WFP is keen to continue building stronger food systems alongside national efforts. #UNGA

Hunger is a challenge to stability. From today's "United Against Hunger" #UNGA event. Great to see powerful voices around the table, coming together to move from responding to crises to preventing them. @BMZ_Bund @fightfoodcrises @IrishMissionUN @FCDOGovUK @g7plus @WFP @FAO

Spoke with @Reuters on #Yemen - the people we serve, and the teams working to reach them as conflict escalates. These are the stories we must bring to the forefront of every conversation at #UNGA. www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/world-fo...Mostrar mais

At #UNGA this week. World leaders, humanitarians and partners in the same room. My message: we need to step up support and protection for the global fight against hunger. The impact of what happens inside these halls is only measured by the changes that happen outside them.

School meals are one of today's good news story – because they work. They help children learn and strengthen local markets. At today's #UNGA81 @SchoolMeals_ event with @RockefellerFdn & world leaders who take this forward, our task now is reaching the children everywhere.

Humanitarians can save lives, but many of the challenges we face to deliver are political. Today, @eu_echo, Ireland, Brazil and Jordan brought us together on how Member Statses can use humanitarian diplomacy to advance humanitarian action and protect humanitarian space. #UNGA81

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.

In #Sudan, conflict and climate shocks are driving up hunger while funding drops. I spoke to @Reuters from Darfur: www.reuters.com/world/africa/world-food-pr...

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: @WFP supporting nearly 700,000 people every month with food or cash. But it's still not enough.

Very good to meet again with H.E. Dr. Badr Abdelatty, @Egyptmfa. We discussed advancing food security efforts across the region and #Egypt's critical role in supporting humanitarian action in Gaza and Sudan.

Reports of fighting escalating near Bab Al-Mandab overnight. I was there last week and warned further disruption would raise food prices, deepen hardship, and add more obstacles for aid. Yemen's people suffer most and the impact is global. The world must step up with solutions.

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…Mostrar mais

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. @WFP lacks the funding and access to reach everyone.

Yemen - rising needs, escalating conflict and lack of access and funding. I join the Secretary General @antonioguterres in calling for the immediate release of the 73 UN staff, including 38 @WFP colleagues, and the conditions to resume principled humanitarian operations.

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.

A packed 48 hours in Sweden. Meetings with @SweMFA, @Sida, @ICC_Sweden, private sector leaders, and engaging conversations with students. We explored how stronger partnerships across all sectors can help end hunger. Sweden remains a steadfast partner to @WFP in this mission 🇸🇪

When families cannot put food on the table, they face impossible choices: starve, move or rebel. The vicious cycle of hunger & conflict repeats. Humanitarians cannot replace political will. Here are 5 circuit breakers I urged the Security Council to adopt www.wfp.org/news/wfp-acting-executive-dire...Mostrar mais

The world is facing a triple chokepoint crisis. Consequences of conflicts are transmitted across borders & seas. Waiting for famine to be declared is a total failure of duty. @WFP looks to the Security Council for urgent and concrete action. My remarks at the Security Counci…Mostrar mais

Briefing the @UN Security Council with Secretary General @antonioguterres on how the hunger-conflict cycle looks in practice, from Somalia to Ukraine to Sudan and beyond, and how Council members can respond. Tune in 10am ET 27 Aug: webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1w/k1w3vqjyjr

Somalia - one of the world's worst malnutrition crises, with a risk of slipping into famine. @WFP stretching resources to respond, but more resources desperately needed to avert further crisis. My interview with @AJEnglish www.aljazeera.com/video/inside-story/2026/...Mostrar mais

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.

Humanitarians deliver lifesaving support in every crisis, often at great personal risk. Today, on #WorldHumanitarianDay, I thank @WFP teams for showing up, again and again. We must do more to protect aid workers. Protecting them means protecting every community they serve.

Behind every running #Ebola clinic is a supply chain getting help where it's needed. Here is one of many planes loaded in Entebbe, landing in Bunia. @WFP-led @logcluster has moved over 1,000 mt of cargo for humanitarian partners. This is what an integrated response looks like.

Brilliant meeting with @WFP_Uganda team. Great spirit and teamwork as they carry out a full response for refugees, resilience and anticipatory action. Leaving with a Karimojong and akopiya, ceremonial attire from the Karamoja region, symbols of Ugandan heritage and hospitality.

Attacks on shipping routes, from the Strait of Hormuz to the Black Sea, are disrupting food supply chains and driving up hunger worldwide. People suffer and humanitarian operations are put at risk. I spoke to @CNN about this worrying trend.

The severe threat of #ElNiño is growing around the world, including in #Uganda. Millions of people are at risk of slipping into worse hunger. @WFP and partners are acting early to help communities prepare, but more resources are needed to scale up. Latest: www.wfp.org/news/world-food-programme-ramp...Mostrar mais

75 years ago, the world promised to protect anyone forced to flee. Now, that is being tested. In #Uganda, home to 2 million refugees, funding cuts have forced @WFP to cut assistance to half of them. The same is happening around the world. Now is the time to step up support.

Pleasure meeting H.E. President @KagutaMuseveni. Uganda shows humanitarian leadership, hosting nearly 2 million refugees, supporting the regional Ebola response & preparing for #ElNiño. @WFP is proud to support government efforts to strengthen resilience and act ahead of cri…Mostrar mais
