Communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis need urgent support!
@WFP, @FAO, @WHO, @UNICEF, & @IFAD work to help at risk people in #Bangladesh to prepare for, respond to, and recover from climate shocks & stresses.

Between Covid 19 and climate shocks, food remains a need for #Rohingya (82%) and #Bangladeshi (59%) communities - a need for greater access to fresh food or continued food aid. Learn more from Refugee Influx Emergency Vulnerability Assessment 5 report: https://t.co/MDvJTRzrdt
Very engaging conversation with @Kishjustathome today, as she discussed with @WFP#Bangladesh how passion, stewardship & culture are key elements of great food and how food #security is incumbent on men & women taking on the responsibility of putting food on the table, together.
“The water kept rising. Soon our village was submerged.”
In #Bangladesh 🇧🇩, WFP is supporting families like Komola's affected by the deadly monsoon floods.
Food 🍚& cash💸 assistance are being provided to 262,000 people to help them cope with loss of food stock & livelihoods.
Incredible news out of the @G7 today. World leaders have committed to necessary political action, new initiatives, and nearly $5B to respond to the global hunger emergency. This is exactly the kind of progress we need to save millions of lives at this unprecedented time. #G7GER
@ShareTheMealorg has raised over 132K meals for @WFP's Surfers’ Megher School, which aims to empower young Bangladeshi surfers. But we are still more than 300K meals short. A shared meal means schooling, lifeguard training, & cash for food for these kids: https://t.co/LkG5EooJ2f
Great meeting with @MFA_Ukraine, discussing @WFP support to 3m citizens this month, hearing appreciation for the cash program scale-up & agreeing on the need to find means to mitigate the global food security impact of this war - by enabling food exports! 1/2
Just hours ago, @WFP sent out the first shipment of 85mts of #fortifiedbiscuits to our partner @BRACworld who are on the ground and ready to distribute to 34,000 families affected by monsoon rains in large parts of northeastern #Bangladesh.
100 million people forced to flee…
There is nothing to celebrate on #WorldRefugeeDay
International solidarity for Bangladesh & Rohingya refugees is needed + than ever
+ collective action to allow them to return to & have a brighter future in Myanmar!

World leaders are shocked at how bad this food crisis really is. It is critical that the necessary actions are taken to avert famine ASAP — not just in the coming months, but over the next 1-2 years.
New Bangladesh goal! 🇧🇩🌊🏄♀
#WFP has partnered with an education foundation to empower young surfer children in #Bangladesh.
Shared meals will provide children with schooling, lifeguard training, and cash to buy food!

Thanks to #MoDMR and @WorldBankSAsia for the consistent support. The Safety Net Systems for the Poorest (SNSP) project we signed on this morning, is further testament to the #BDgov and @WFP’s dedication to improve the resilience of the #Rohingya population in Cox’s Bazar.
A wonderful start to the weekend in #CoxsBazar: cleaning up the world's longest natural beach with 130 #surfkids from the @WFP funded Surfers' Megher School! A great opportunity for them to learn about the impact of #littering on sea-life and how it adds to #climateshocks.

According to the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (#FFWC), water is flowing above danger level (up to 1m) in the northeastern part of #Bangladesh. As of now, impact areas are #Sylhet and #Sunamganj. @WFP is actively monitoring the situation.
Terrific meeting with @USAIDUkraine Director Jim Hope in #Kyiv. The commitment of the USA to #Ukraine & @WFP is awesome. We reemphasized that WFP will only be here for as long as we are needed, to restore & enhance existing capacity, with the support of our largest donor.
The poverty & undernutrition maps presented today, produced by @WFP and #BangladeshBureauofStatistics & supported by @IFADSouthAsia, is paramount for #BDgov to understand the causes & impacts of #poverty and #foodinsecurity. These will ensure that effective action is taken.
