Launching #emergency distributions for 100,000 people in 4 provinces of #Laos🇱🇦, in response to price hikes due to record inflation&seasonal food shortages: 8kg of rice per person donated from @mafrakorea🇰🇷 & @Irish_Aid 🇮🇪 to overcome food insecurity during rainy season.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

The Taliban just said women cannot work for the @UN in #Afghanistan. That makes our job nearly impossible.

Women are the backbone of @WFP—we have 9,600 working on the frontlines of hunger worldwide.

While millions of Afghans face starvation, this is simply unacceptable.
