This is Md Ali, a @WFP volunteer whose neighborhood was wiped out yesterday in the #Rohingya camps in Bangladesh. Today, they are cleaning debris with the aim to rebuild as soon as possible. @bbcrajiniv @_mcmitch @poppymcp

🚨The immediate economic shocks from the Middle East crisis are already showing, but the delayed ones could be even more severe - especially for countries relying heavily on food and fuel imports.

WFP's Mercy Juma explains why and what's at stake ⤵️

[Brook duBois @brookdubois]

Since May, Rohingya refugees relying entirely on @WFP assistance to feed their families were given the news that rations would be slashed. Down to just $8 per person for an entire month - 9 cents a meal. It takes $12 for families to meet their minimum daily requirements.

Amina, a 35 yrs old & mother of two, was found begging around CBX. She said, “I don’t have anyone to support me with these 2 kids while we are facing a food crisis in the camp. I beg from the people so that I can survive myself and make sure these children survive too.” 1/4

📍 Deir El Balah, #Gaza

⬇️ @Hind_Gaza takes us to one of the @WFP distribution centres where families receive food parcels with enough food for 2 weeks.

To date, WFP has assisted more than 700,000 people with food assistance.

This lifeline needs to be scaled up & sustained.

[World Food Programme @WFP]

“Even as we try to ensure hungry people have food, we ourselves have barely anything to eat.”

Read the testimony of one WFP staff member inside #Gaza.

As bombardement continues, WFP remains worried for the safety of citizens and our colleagues.

[Kim Vinnell @kimvinnell]

Everyone is following this missing submersible. It's trending everywhere. People are listening to our podcast just to hear about it.

But what about this. HUNDREDS of people are still missing off the coast of Greece. More than 80 are dead.

[Emma Batha @EmmaBatha]

Rohingya refugees are now surviving on just 9 cents a meal. On #WorldRefugeeDay, I spoke to refugees, @WFP and @NRC_Norway about the dire impact of the latest food cuts https://t.co/XKhlBIxMnT

[World News Tonight @ABCWorldNews]

Haiti, one of the poorest countries in the world, is plagued with gang violence and now at risk of famine. @MattRiversABC reports on the humanitarian crisis as armed groups control what supplies come into areas, leaving children with little or no food. https://t.co/wIixdvCBZY

⛔ Don't keep scrolling past what matters.⛔

As you read this, millions around the world are feeling the impact of the global food crisis. 2023 could be worse.

[World Food Programme @WFP]

As this year's #UNGA gets underway, the number of people experiencing extreme hunger is accelerating at an unprecedented pace.

Understand what’s driving the global #FoodCrisis - and what’s needed from world leaders to stop it.

@USUNRomeAmb @Mizzou @cafnr @USUNRome Ahh great to see my 🐯 alma mater enabling students exposure to great orgs like @WFP 👏

‘Hundreds of children in my village are malnourished. In every house, you’ll find 2 or 3. We have nothing to feed their mothers, that's why they're being born like this,’ a man in Helmand said. Malnutrition measles & TB are killing #Afghanistan’s children. https://t.co/1440LEsmJu

This is not how Ljudmila deserved to spend her 70th birthday - fleeing her home in #Ukraine to seek safety in another country.

She spoke to WFP from a refugee reception center in #Poland.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

I’m here in Poland, a country filled with incredible people who have not hesitated to step up for their neighbors at this time of great need.

To President @AndrzejDuda & the Polish people, you have given hope to so many. On behalf of @WFP, thank you for your tremendous support!

📹🌍 WFP's @PhiriTomson takes us to #Kenya where communities are being impacted by extreme drought.

An estimated 13 million people across three countries in the eastern Horn of Africa are affected.

🤔 What's happening and why?👇

[ShareTheMeal - UN World Food Programme @ShareTheMealorg]

We completed our #Afghanistan goal last week where you shared over 1 million meals with children and families!

A BIG thank you to everyone who donated: @sthakral @WFP spokesperson for Afghanistan sends a message from the field💛

[Rohingya Refugee Response @RohingyaResp]

They know the dangers.
They have been trained.
They volunteer to protect their community.
They save lives.

#Rohingya 🇲🇲 volunteers are first responders at all hours to emergencies like this morning’s fire in Camp 5.
