Families in #Gaza City are uprooted again, seeking safety that does not exist.
WFP's Martina explains that with every new displacement, families exhaust their resources and food becomes harder to obtain. ⤵️
📣Only a ceasefire and safe, unhindered access for humanitarian aid can ensure enough food reaches those most in need.
In #Gaza, every food delivery is a test of courage.
Amid danger and despair, @WFP teams keep going because people are in need, and this is our mission.
Saving lives should never come at the cost of their own.
They need protection. They need support.
#WorldHumanitarianDay
In #Gaza, families are hanging on by a thread. Children go to bed hungry — again and again.
Watch WFP’s Martina explain why food must reach them — now.
Even in the hardest times, people find ways to rebuild.
At a @WFP cash-for-work center in #Gaza, women turn flour bags into reusable bags and protective covers. More than income, this gives them a space of their own to share, recover, and heal.
For #WarehouseWednesday, we spotlight our warehouse in Khan Younis, #Gaza, where our team is dispatching food that arrived through the Karem Shalom crossing earlier this week.
Since the beginning of the #ceasefire, @WFP has delivered over 10,100 metric tons of food to Gaza 🚚📦
For the first time in over 4 months, @WFP is distributing full rations to 1.1 million displaced people across the #Gaza Strip.
Thanks to @WFPSupplyChain and the support of @MBRInitiatives, vital supplies from Karem Shalom are now reaching those in need across the Gaza Strip. 💙
The long-awaited ceasefire offers hope to families in #Gaza.
Our team is on the ground distributing assistance to targeted people including two food parcels and a bag of flour per family.
@WFP's Martina Trombetta explains the components of each food parcel. ⤵️
For many families in #Gaza who celebrate #Christmas, celebrations were not possible last year & this year is no different, as the war continues to disrupt daily life.
The spirit of the holiday season🎄calls for love and peace. A ceasefire is the first step toward restoring both.
Access is not just a word in #Gaza. It's a lifeline of support for 2 million people in desperate need.
WFP is doing everything it can to deliver life-saving aid across #Gaza despite continuing challenges and setbacks.
We call on all parties to allow for the safe passage of aid.
#Gaza, 20 December: a joint UN convoy with 9 trucks reached people previously cut off from assistance for over 75 days in Beit Hanoun.
◾ 2 trucks of bottled water
◾ 7 trucks of wheat flour & canned food
◾ distributed to ~800 people in Beit Hanoun amid massive destruction
On 6 Feb 2023 Dima survived the earthquakes in #Syria.
Next day, she was out with @WFPproviding emergency food assistance to other victims💙
On the 1stanniversary of the quakes we remember those we've lost & strive to support those most vulnerable amidst funding constrains.
💔1 YEAR from the devastating earthquakes in #Syria & #Türkiye.
🚨 @WFP was there from day one, providing vital relief to affected families in both countries.
🆘 Sufficient & sustained support from donors allows WFP to be there, responding to emergencies wherever they occur.
Conflict and natural disasters have taken a devastating human toll on Syrian people.
Seham and her daughters deserve an opportunity.
Lack of funding for humanitarian assistance is putting millions of Syrians at risk of sinking deeper into hunger.
I've just returned from #Gaza, but it is not the Gaza I know.
Streets are flooded with tents, sewage, and people with nowhere to go. Shelters are cold and overcrowded. People have nothing to eat.
People in #Gaza deserve hope. They need a ceasefire. This suffering must end.
I am deeply shocked that 2 @UNRWA schools were struck in less than 24 hours in Gaza.
Dozens of people – many women & children – were killed & injured as they were seeking safety in @UN premises.
I reaffirm that our premises are inviolable.
Painful to see UNRWA premises being hit, especially as they shelter mostly women & children who are left with NOWHERE to go. States must call for #ceasefireNow & ensure its respect. Time to consider diplomatic, political & economic measures to end the violence & restore legality.
Deeply mourning the tragic loss of lives in #Gaza, and the lives of 35 of our dear @UNRWA colleagues amongst them.
@WFP stands in solidarity with the brave colleagues doing everything in their power, every day, to support families in the most difficult of times.
Hassan is one of millions of children in #Syria who were forced to drop out of school.
WFP supports families of students who return to school after years of missing out. With monthly cash-based transfers, families can buy the food they need and keep kids in school.
In Syria where most food is out of reach for the majority, bread is a lifeline. This bakery in Latakia produces 19,000 bundles every day 🫓����
Thanks to generous support from @MOFAKuwait WFP is rehabilitating 7 bakeries that were damaged by February's earthquakes.
@GccWfp
Un sincero grazie all'Italia 🇮🇹 per aver contribuito con 1⃣milione di $ alla risposta del @WFP al devastante terremoto che ha colpito la #Siria il febbraio scorso.
