🚨Burhakaba is facing a rapidly worsening crisis, with a real risk of famine-like conditions.

WFP is responding under extreme constraints but urgent support is needed now to avert catastrophe.

Hear from the WFP Deputy Country Director @BailletRaynatou for the latest update👇

Healthy, thriving children are the foundation of peace and progress. At @WFP, we know that nourishing young lives means nurturing brighter futures. Every meal, every program, is an investment in resilience, dignity, and hope for generations to come.

Country Director @Hameed_Nuru met with #IMF Resident Representative for Somalia, Jehann Jack, to discuss Somalia's humanitarian and economic outlook.

Both principals emphasized the need to safeguard lives and invest in the private sector for development.

Today, sitting in this classroom full of girls, I was reminded why this work matters.

WFP school meals help them stay in school, focus in class, and build the futures they dream of.

When food can move safely & swiftly, families eat, communities thrive, and crises don’t break resilience. At WFP, @logculster is hope in motion.

[WFP Somalia @WFPSomalia]

Beautiful. Resourceful. Resilient. This is Somalia. 🇸🇴

Beyond emergency relief, @WFP is investing in the long-term potential of Somalia’s agricultural lands, livestock sectors, and local businesses to achieve a hunger-free future.

[Rainatou Baillet @BailletRaynatou]

In Somalia, amidst droughts, conflict, and economic hardship, women are seizing opportunities to sustain families and communities. Their resilience and leadership prove that when women rise, societies endure. We stand with them—empowering strength, feeding hope, and building futures.

[Rainatou Baillet @BailletRaynatou]

This is deeply concerning. A crisis far beyond Somalia’s borders is now directly impacting people already struggling to cope—adding further pressure on millions who can least afford it. Urgent action is needed to prevent the situation from worsening.

Honoured to meet with the Honourable Vice President of Puntland @HELugatoor to discuss ongoing food insecurity and drought conditions in puntland. We reaffirmed the importance of sustained support for vulnerable communities.

[Rainatou Baillet @BailletRaynatou]

In Puntland today, one of the areas hardest hit by drought, I am hearing firsthand how deeply communities are affected—water is scarce, livestock are dying, and families are struggling to cope. The pressure is mounting. Urgent humanitarian support is needed now.

[WFP Somalia @WFPSomalia]

Behind every school meal is a journey—from local farms to school kitchens to the hands of a student fueled for the day ahead.

See what a day in school meals looks like. 👇

Behind every school reached is a child who can learn on a full stomach.🍽️

School meals are keeping classrooms alive across Somalia.📚

Unreliable rains are worsening drought across Puntland, pushing vulnerable families deeper into crisis.

@WFP is delivering where possible — but funding gaps are limiting our ability to scale up life-saving assistance.

Urgent support is needed now ⚠️.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

Great meeting with HE Tariq
Al Gurg, CEO @DubaiCares. l thanked him for his steadfast commitment to advancing on SDG 4, particularly in crisis contexts.

We must transform our learning systems to the new realities to ensure future generations are equipped to fulfill their full potential.

Eid Mubarak! On this sacred occasion of #EidAlAdha, let us reflect on the values of sacrifice, empathy, and solidarity. Warmest wishes to everyone celebrating—may it be a season of peace and shared happiness. ✨

[WFP Somalia @WFPSomalia]

Eid Mubarak from us @WFP.
As we celebrate with family and loved ones, may we reflect on the humanitarian situation here in #Somalia. @fatimamhirsi
highlights our collective responsibility in making Somalia better.

[WFP Somalia @WFPSomalia]

🚨The situation in Buurhakaba is extremely dire.

Nearly 40% of children under five are acutely malnourished or worse.

The risk of catastrophe is real and rising fast.

Urgent support is needed now to prevent the worst❗#Somalia

Biodiversity is one of our strongest climate-smart investments. 🌍🌱

Each of us can commit to one tree.

When multiplied by millions of hands, it becomes shade, cleaner air, restored ecosystems and hope for future generations.#ClimateAction #LocalAction

On #BiodiversityDay, take a moment to look closer at the biodiversity in your surroundings, from the species in your garden or local park to the ecosystems that support communities everywhere.
