⚠️A hunger crisis in #Somalia is unfolding.
It's driven by a dangerous combination of drought, reduced humanitarian assistance, and the ripple effects of conflict in the Middle East.
Hear from WFP's @mfjhollingworth in Puntland, one of the areas hardest hit. ⤵️

This is totally unacceptable and must change immediately. We have repeatedly asked for a functioning deconfliction system in Gaza, and yet the current arrangements have failed. Humanitarians are #NotATarget. https://t.co/FUWBV8dNk6
💥500 days ago conflict broke out in #Sudan, triggering the world's largest #hunger crisis
@WFP has supported over 8⃣ million ppl w/ vital food & nutrition aid since then
But we need expanded & sustained access to save more lives
The Sudanese ppl can't afford another 500 days
.@WFP, with unrelenting support from the #EU🇪🇺 through @eu_echo, is providing lifesaving assistance to the #Sahrawi refugees living in #Tindouf, #Algeria.
In addition to food assistance, cash-based transfers contribute to address malnutrition through enhancing dietary diversity.
My last message from Gaza. We’ve come a long way in the last 5 months, and I know the road ahead will be rocky & longer. I’m leaving behind a team that’s working around the clock for every father, mother & child I met in Gaza to have a better tomorrow.
Khadija lives in a refugee camp in Tindouf, #Algeria – a country that has been hosting refugees from Western Sahara since 1975.
Thanks to the #EU's 🇪🇺 major & lasting support, @WFP is providing lifesaving food & nutrition assistance to those most in need.
#WorldRefugeeDay
After months of restricted access to northern #Gaza,
@WFP reached Beit Hanoun, to set up storage space for aid.
WFP Supply Chain ensures that lifesaving assistance reaches those in need around the clock, reversing months of starvation.
📣 Access needs to be sustained.
School meals bridge the gap between hunger and education.🥘📚
Providing children with nutritious #SchoolMeals can lift entire communities out of poverty and onto the road to sustainable development.💙
WFP's George explains ⤵️
Today is #HumanRightsDay, we mark 75 years since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Today maybe more than ever, we should all do our best for a peaceful world and leaving a better place for the future generations.
