A parent should never have to choose between feeding themselves and feeding their child.
More than 63,000 refugees in Malawi are receiving only 60% of their minimum food needs, and without urgent funding, WFP assistance could stop from September.

WFP #UNHRD convened a Localization Workshop to advance logistics innovation for emergency preparedness in Ghana and Africa.
The event brought together national response and humanitarian actors to explore solutions for faster, more effective humanitarian action.
A strong example of operational agility in action.
This timely Ebola response in eastern #DRCongo reflects @WFPโs commitment and the resilience of our teams delivering life-saving support in extremely challenging conditions.
Floods in southern Malawi have destroyed homes & displaced families.
Thanks to @UKinMalawi early funding, WFP had emergency kits and food ready before the floods, so our teams could respond immediately.
WFP remains committed to supporting Malawians during this emergency.
With support from @UKinMalawi, WFP is delivering life-saving assistance to flood-affected families: prepositioned food, emergency kits & critical logistics support. Thanks to this UK funding for preparedness, we are acting fast reaching over 9,700 households in need.
๐ฌ๐ง rescue experts were in ๐ฒ๐ผ's Lower Shire region, one of the areas most vulnerable to flooding , training 20 emergency responders in boat handling & flood rescue.
3๏ธโฃ of those facilitators were graduates from 2025 Train the Trainer programme.
That's local expertise, growing.
I am deeply concerned by the trajectory in #Somalia.
Hunger at this scale threatens stability, dignity, and futures, with consequences that extend well beyond one nation.
We must #ActNow!

The first-ever #SADC Emergency Response Team arrived in Mozambique last Friday to support the floods response.
With #EU support to SADC Humanitarian & Emergency Operations Centre, WFP has facilitated the deployment to help save lives.
๐#Mozambique is facing the worst floods in two decades:
๐นThousands of families are displaced
๐นAccess to communities is cut off by flood waters
WFP teams are rapidly deploying, aiming to reach 375,000 of the worst-affected people in the coming days. But more support is urgent. โคต๏ธ
Malawi has declared a State of Disaster as 4 million people face food insecurity.
@WFP & @MalawiGov are already distributing food, but current funding gaps mean many vulnerable families remain without support.
WFP appeals for donor contributions to sustain life-saving efforts.
โTodayโs gathering is a reflection of collaboration in action. FAO & WFP are driving value chain transformation in Malawi using FAO's Hand-in-Hand & SFVC tools."- Yvonne Mmangisa, @FAOMalawi
Thank you, Norway ๐ณ๐ด, for supporting school meals and emergency food response in Malawi.
With 4 million people experiencing crisis levels of food insecurity, #WFP aims to assist 1.9 million this lean season.
Your support helps us reach those most in need to achieve #ZeroHunger
๐จ According to the Malawi Vulnerability Assessment Committee, 4 million people may face hunger between Oct 2025โMar 2026, with 8,000 in urgent need.
WFP is scaling up support but needs USD 69M to reach 1.9M vulnerable people with life-saving food assistance.
Humanitarian supply chains = 70% of emergency response costs. We must work smarter & faster, together.
@WFPโs vast logistics network and deep field presence help us assist people wherever they are in the hardest-to-reach places. Every dollar, every minute counts.

The first half of 2025 brought relentless challenges, but @WFP supply chains kept moving.
โOur supply chain machine is in full steam to reach every hungry person we can. All we need are the resources to do more.โ โ @Corinne_WFP Supply Chain Director.
