World Food Programme

2020 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. The UN World Food Programme saves lives in emergencies and uses food assistance to build a pathway to peace and stability.

The world's biggest challenges are on the agenda at #UNGA81.

Our message?

Food security is the foundation of stability. No nation can thrive if its people are hungry.

[World Food Programme @WFP]

As #UNGA81 begins, WFP calls on leaders, governments, and businesses to protect food security.

➡️ Advance political solutions to end conflict.

➡️ Step up funding for life-saving aid.

➡️ Mobilize private sector investment, technology, and expertise.

➡️ Invest in early action before crises escalate.

Flooded roads and destroyed bridges have left many communities completely isolated.

To reach them, @WFP_Nepal is delivering food and relief items by air. 🚁

Aviation Officer Shahrukh shares how crews navigate rugged mountain terrain to serve people in need, wherever they are.

Conflict and hunger go hand in hand.

We cannot address food security without addressing the root causes of conflict.

And we cannot build peace when millions are hungry. #UNGA81

📍#Philippines: With 20+ typhoons each year, being ready before disaster strikes is essential.

In Cebu, a Government disaster response centre can produce 22,000 family food packs daily, enough to reach 100,000+ people.

@RegisChapmanWFP explains how partnership strengthens national preparedness👇

[World Food Programme @WFP]

🚨#Yemen: Renewed fighting along the western coast has displaced an estimated 125,000 people in days.

WFP has reached 45,000 people and is preparing to assist 1.5 million more if conflict intensifies.

Urgent funding and safe access are needed now. https://t.co/UepGqIa6f6

[World Food Programme @WFP]

🔴 Everything that is driving hunger around the world right now is playing out in #Sudan.

Together, they are fueling the world's largest hunger crisis.

Acting @WFPChief @CarlSkau explains why urgent action is needed now.

[World Food Programme @WFP]

Acting before disaster strikes is one of the smartest investments we can make.

As a powerful #ElNiño threatens to deepen hunger, @novonordiskfond is investing US$7.75 million to help WFP support communities in high-risk countries prepare for climate shocks before they unfold. https://t.co/a7F6pIUULn

[World Food Programme @WFP]

Conflict and hunger fuel each other.

Conflict destroys food systems, drives families from their homes and leaves millions struggling to find enough to eat.

As world leaders gather at #UNGA81, WFP will be highlighting a simple truth: we cannot build lasting peace while millions go hungry. 🌍🕊️

📍 #Nepal: WFP is pioneering the use of humanitarian cargo drones to deliver critical food assistance to communities cut off by floods.

Aviation Officer Oleg explains how teams are reaching extremely difficult areas to access in minutes instead of days.🛩️📦

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Back in Tawila camp. Survivors of El Fasher, now surviving on only aid. Camp expanded more since I was last here 3 months ago. I see the progress when we have the resources and access: @WFP supporting nearly 700,000 people every month with food or cash. But it's still not enough.

[World Food Programme @WFP]

🛑What does it take to fight hunger?

To understand who is most affected and where needs are greatest, WFP teams use evidence to guide action and reach the right people.

#SouthSudan: "I met a mother of four who had walked nearly 200 kilometres with her children in search of safety."

Across the country, families are being pushed deeper into hunger by conflict, displacement and climate shocks. 🆘 WFP's @mfjhollingworth warns that without urgent funding, more than 1 million people could lose lifesaving food assistance by October.
