الشتاء في غزة أكثر قسوة، لكن التضامن الإنساني باقٍ. تواصل دولة قطر جهودها لدعم الأشقاء والتخفيف من معاناة من فقدوا المأوى والدفء، خصوصًا النساء والأطفال وكبار السن والمرضى.

WFP Statement | #Sudan

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) strongly condemns an attack on one of its trucks near the town of Hamra El Sheikh in North Darfur, Sudan last night. The truck was part of a larger convoy of 39 trucks on route with vital food assistance to support hungry families who fled to Tawilah, North Darfur in search of food and safety.

The truck was under repair due to mechanical problems when it was attacked, destroying the truck’s cabin and seriously injuring the driver, who was immediately evacuated to hospital for urgent treatment.

We call for an immediate and independent investigation into the incident and parties found responsible should be held to account.

The convoy was more than halfway through its 1000-kilometer journey when the incident happened. The movement had been cleared for use by all parties to the conflict. The route is the main supply lifeline for WFP to reach the most vulnerable people in Darfur – with close to 100 aid trucks every month using the same roads to deliver critical food assistance.

This latest incident is the sixth serious attack on WFP trucks, assets, and facilities in Sudan in the past year – with eight humanitarians and partners killed, and many more injured. This is unacceptable.

Humanitarian staff and assets must never be a target.
Unimpeded access to reach the most vulnerable families in Darfur and all famine-stricken areas is critical.

WFP supports 700,000 people in Tawilah with lifesaving food aid. Hundreds of thousands of people had fled to the town for safety, including families from El Fasher and the Zamzam displacement camp – both of which have had famine confirmed.

Technology & ingenuity are transforming the fight against hunger – helping @WFP reach 60M people in 2024 alone. We've just opened an exhibition at HQ that shows exactly how we're doing this.

Here's how our teams are innovating to deliver faster & smarter: https://t.co/QZmqINLVj5

25 years ago, one hub in Brindisi, Italy, was established with @cooperazione_it.

Today, the @WFP-managed #UNHRD spans 5 strategic hubs, helping partners pre-position relief supplies & deliver aid fast when crises strike.

الجوع في #أفغانستان يزداد بوتيرة مقلقة. ومع اقتراب فصل الشتاء، من المتوقع أن يرتفع سوء التغذية بين النساء والأطفال بشكل كبير.

بفضل شركائنا، يتمكن برنامج الأغذية العالمي من الوصول إلى بعض العائلات الأكثر ضعفاً - لكن الاحتياجات لا تزال هائلة. معاً، يمكننا منع الكارثة.

The latest global outlook is deeply worrying.

16 hunger hotspots will worsen in 2026 including #Palestine, #Yemen & #Syria.

In MENAEE, 39M face acute food insecurity.
We need $3.6B & flexible funding.

Hunger is a humanitarian and a strategic risk. The time to act is now.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Productive meeting with UAE Minister Al Hashimy in Geneva.

We are in a vital period of diplomacy to end conflicts, in which we must protect civilians and open up neutral humanitarian access to those most in need.

Also good to think through the next phase of Humanitarian Reset.

WFP's latest analysis shows 318 million people facing acute hunger - not knowing when, or if, they will eat again.

التطوع لا يعرف عمراً. هو تجربة تمنح المعنى والشعور بالهدف، وتعزز الثقة بالمؤسسات. علينا دعم المتطوع في كل مراحل رحلته. العمل التطوعي يبني الثقة بالنفس، ويطور المهارات التقنية والإنسانية على حد سواء.

Cash assistance is a cornerstone of @WFP’s response in #Gaza helping families buy what they need most and supporting local markets to recover.

[برنامج الأغذية العالمي التابع للأمم المتحدة @WFP_Arabic]

بفضل الوصول والدعم، نجح برنامج الأغذية العالمي في إنقاذ تسع مناطق من خطر المجاعة في #السودان.

لكن المجاعة لا تزال مستمرة في الفاشر وكادوقلي.

With access and support, WFP has pulled nine areas back from famine conditions in #Sudan.

But famine persists in El Fasher and Kadugli.

[WFP in Afghanistan @WFP_Afghanistan]

WFP in #Afghanistan is stopping at nothing to reach the country’s most remote communities before winter hits.

No road too rough. No village too remote. Every hour counts. These aren't just deliveries — they're lifelines.

This would not be possible without generous support from our partners like @ADB_HQ🇦🇺🇨🇦🇺🇳🇪🇺🇩🇪🇯🇵🇰🇷🇨🇭🇬🇧

[Carl Skau @CarlSkau]

Displaced, returnees, those who stayed behind - the needs in #Sudan are diverse, and our response must be tailored. @WFP provides food for those who have nothing & cash support where markets work. School meals to children returning to school, and boosting agricultural production.

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

The #MiddleEast & #NorthAfrica region remains deeply entrenched in food insecurity driven by

🔴 conflict
🔴 displacement
🔴 funding shortfalls
🔴 economic decline

The region is stretched to a breaking point, and hunger is pushing it further.

Urgent support is needed!
