The link between armed conflict, violence & hunger is undeniable, with at least 266 mln people facing acute food insecurity in 2025, @antonioguterres warns.

Acting @WFPChief Carl Skau urged governments for new and bold action to break the vicious cycle of hunger and conflict.

[Ireland at UN @IrishMissionUN]

At today’s #UNSC Debate on Food Under Fire, we highlighted how 🇮🇪 is combatting conflict-induced food insecurity through:

🔸our bilateral aid and diplomatic action

🔸our EU Presidency Programme

🔸the Group of Friends of Action on Conflict & Hunger

[🇪🇺EU at UN-NY @EUatUN]

Starvation must never be used as a method of warfare.
At #UNSC, 🇪🇺called for humanitarian diplomacy, protection of supply routes, support for early warning & multilateral action to address the wider food security impacts of conflict #FoodUnderFire

Hunger must never be used as a weapon of war 🚫

In the #UNSC today, the Nordic countries 🇳🇴🇮🇸🇸🇪🇩🇰🇫🇮 called for stronger implementation of Resolution 2417, timely action on early warnings, and accountability for violations.

[SwitzerlandUN @swiss_un]

UNSC OD |🇨🇭called on the UNSC to address conflict-related food insecurity more effectively through:

-Better use of early warning info
-Preserving humanitarian space & ensuring respect for int’l humanitarian law
-Ensuring IHL violations are investigated & perpetrators prosecuted

[Denmark MFA 🇩🇰 @DanishMFA]

FM @larsloekke: “Far too many people face hunger driven by conflict. Not drought, not disaster - but conflict. In 2026, famine is not a failure of harvests. It's a failure of politics. Today Denmark brings the UNSC together to call for action & end starvation as a weapon of war.”

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The best protection against food insecurity is peace.

And the safest condition for peace is a world with #ZeroHunger.

Today, I urged the Seucrity Council to use all tools at its disposal to help prevent & end conflicts, and to stop emerging risks from becoming wider crises of instability — and, in particular, food insecurity.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

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 Council 🔽

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Conflicts in different regions are choking arteries of global trade & squeezing the global food system.

Navigational rights & freedoms are vital for international peace & security & the flow of essential goods.

My appeal:

- full respect for international law – including law of the sea & international humanitarian law
- protection for civilian shipping, infrastructure & civilian seafarers
- upholding of navigational rights & freedoms
- an immediate end to attacks against commercial shipping & civilian infrastructure in the Black Sea
- full restoration & respect of navigational rights & freedoms in the Strait of Hormuz
- an end to attacks against shipping in the Red Sea & around Bab al-Mandab.

[Ireland at UN @IrishMissionUN]

On World Humanitarian Day, Ireland honours the humanitarian workers who deliver life-saving assistance in the world’s most challenging crises.

We stand in solidarity with those working on the frontlines and call for humanitarian workers to be protected, and for IHL to be upheld.

[WFP Somalia @WFPSomalia]

Behind every humanitarian is a simple belief: that a better world is possible. 💙

"Humanitarian workers stand up for people in need. We must stand up for them.

The world must act: to respect the rules of war; ensure safe access; hold perpetrators accountable; provide sufficient resources.

We must #ActForHumanity–now."

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

They served with heart.
They gave everything.
We remember them.

🔸 Droughts
🔸 Floods
🔸 Typhoons

We must focus on predicting and acting ahead of crises before they unfold.

[EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 @eu_echo]

Climate change is hitting farmers hard.

In Malawi, unpredictable weather - from dry spells to severe flooding - is wiping out crops. 🌾

EU-funded weather stations provide real-time data, turned into practical advice for local farmers.

Global food prices have hit their highest level in three and a half years, as summer heatwaves and conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East push up crop costs, according to the @FAO index of food commodity prices.

[Global Network Against Food Crises @fightfoodcrises]

Three strategic objectives guide the #GNAFC Strategy 2026–30:
1️⃣ Strengthen informed decision-making
2️⃣ Empower national stakeholders
3️⃣ Enhance coordination, coherence & cooperation
Together, they support earlier, better-financed & more effective action

❓Humanitarian vs. Development: What’s the difference?

🏥Humanitarian: Immediate life-saving response (food, water, medicine). Needs-based.

🏗️Development: Long-term growth (infrastructure, energy). Strategy-based.

We save lives today so communities can build for tomorrow!
