[World Food Programme @WFP]

It's #WorldHumanitarianDay.

Behind every humanitarian response are thousands of people working together to make it happen, from drivers, pilots and warehouse teams to engineers, nutrition specialists and emergency responders.

Today, and every day, we honour them and their commitment to serving others. 💙

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Absolutely unacceptable. This is what's left of our @WFP warehouse after a missile strike in Dnipro, Ukraine—and the remaining food stocks for 130K people on the frontlines of war and hunger.

These deliberate attacks MUST end. Aid workers and humanitarian assets are #NotATarget.

Vital lifesaving work 👇

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

The crisis in the Middle East could have a devastating impact on global food security.

Fuel and transport costs are soaring. Fertilizer prices are next. If this situation doesn't improve right now, food prices—and hunger—will rise, with the most vulnerable affected the most.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

#Gaza is at a breaking point. I've just seen it myself.

@WFP operates in conflict zones all over the world. Families in Gaza are starving—and we know how to deliver at scale.

We must revive our network of 200+ food distribution points, community kitchens & bakeries ASAP.

[Becky Anderson @BeckyCNN]

“This is one of the worst tragedies we’ve seen,” @WFPChief tells me as dozens of Palestinians were reportedly killed by Israeli fire while desperately approaching a @wfp 25-truck aid convoy in northern Gaza. She tells me how it all unfolded and calls for immediate humanitarian access.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

The World Food Programme do extraordinary lifesaving work on the frontlines of the humanitarian effort. Joined their Exec Board meeting from DRC, where I’ve seen the impact. Thanks to @WFPChief for her leadership, and to brilliant @WFP colleagues.

[Irving Prado @IrvingWFP]

Impressed by the impact of @WFP’s programming in #Ukraine. On mission with the Executive Director we saw WFP in action in #Kharkiv, and met President and First Lady in #Kyiv to strengthen collaboration and reaffirm WFP's commitment to the Ukrainian people.

[Olena Zelenska / Олена Зеленська @ZelenskaUA]

Honored to welcome @cindymccain, Executive Director of the @WFP to Kyiv. Her visit is a powerful gesture of solidarity during days of mourning after Russian attacks that claimed 28 lives. Thanks to the WFP, 1.5 million of our children receive hot school meals every day. I hope that through continued cooperation, this number will reach 3 million by 2027. Because this is not just about food — it’s about resilience. From every child to the entire country.

[Irving Prado @IrvingWFP]

Humanitarian access is needed NOW

[WFP Español @WFP_es]

🆕🔊 | WFP ha agotado por completo sus reservas de alimentos en #Gaza.

Hoy se entregaron los últimos suministros a los comedores sociales, la única fuente estable de alimentos en Gaza durante semanas. Estos comedores se quedarán sin suministros en los próximos días. 🚨

[World Food Programme @WFP]

WFP has fully depleted its food stocks in #Gaza.

Today, the last supplies were delivered to hot meal kitchens — Gaza’s only steady source of food for weeks. These kitchens will run out of ingredients in the coming days.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Continued cuts to @WFP’s emergency operations will deepen hunger, fuel instability, and make the world far less safe. We urge world leaders to weigh the consequences.

With conflicts & extreme hunger surging, pulling support doesn’t just cost lives—it undermines global stability.

[WFP in the Middle East & North Africa @WFP_MENA]

📹 The ceasefire in #Gaza enabled @WFP to scale up assistance, deliveries and reach people with fuller rations.

If borders remain closed to humanitarian assistance, people could go back to the fragile food security situation they struggled to overcome.

[Rania Dagash @RaniabtBakhita]

It’s here! We launched the first ever humanitarian Unmanned Aircraft System , making aid delivery faster, more efficient 4 hard-to-reach communities.

#WFPArmenia

[Irving Prado @IrvingWFP]

Great to see WFP’s impactful initiatives in #Armenia. These transformative models help us better serve the diverse needs across the MENAEE region.

[Corinne Fleischer @Corinne_WFP]

In just 4 days, we’ve delivered more food into Gaza than the entire last month. @WFP cluster facilitated close to 50% of all trucks entering #Gaza.

We thank all those who made it happen. This momentum must continue for families in Gaza to survive.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

These are the first of many trucks amid the ceasefire delivering lifesaving food to 2M people in Gaza in urgent need. We are hopeful to maintain access at scale.

Humanitarian aid workers MUST be protected—their safety is absolutely paramount to carry out our lifesaving work.
