🚨 Due to funding shortages, WFP is forced to reduce food assistance in Gaza by around one-third, meaning half a million people will lose access to critical aid.

The cuts come as winter approaches and the recent modest improvements in food security remain fragile.

From this month, we are supporting 1.1 million of the most vulnerable people in Gaza with food and cash assistance, down from 1.6 million last month. Food rations will also be cut by half.

WFP urgently calls for additional funding in order to keep reaching the most vulnerable in Gaza and the West Bank.

WFP’s #Ebola response in DR Congo continues.

Since operations began, WFP-managed UNHAS has:

Keeping health and humanitarian partners connected to affected communities when it matters most.

🚨 Nearly 3.5 million people in Ebola-affected areas of #DRC face Crisis-level hunger or worse.

The crisis in Yemen is rippling far beyond its borders.

As instability puts pressure on major shipping routes, goods can take longer and more expensive journeys. Costs rise, food prices can follow, and families already struggling are hit hardest.

⛈️ When Cyclone Gezani struck Madagascar, thousands of families were left facing urgent needs.

Through WFP’s tropical cyclone insurance, US$716,000 was released within days, helping support a rapid response.

For families like Claudine’s, this meant timely cash assistance to buy essential food and begin recovering.

When disasters strike, acting quickly can make all the difference.

Life in Gaza remains brutal. WFP is being forced to cut monthly assistance for half a million Palestinians just as winter begins, when we should be scaling up.

Near one of the meal kitchens in Gaza, I spoke with @AP about what this means for families.

The warning signs are already here ⚠️

In Sudan, poor rains are threatening harvests in a country where conflict has already driven millions into hunger.

Acting before families lose their livelihoods can prevent a worsening crisis.

How do you deliver food at the scale of WFP?

New digital tools are helping WFP forecast needs, optimize supply chains and coordinate operations across the world's largest humanitarian network, making it easier to get food where it's needed, when it's needed.

What do you use when a truck can't get through, a boat can't reach the shore and a road no longer exists?

WFP uses all-terrain vehicles.

Able to travel through water, mud and wetlands, and carry up to 1.5 metric tons of cargo, these amphibious vehicles help WFP deliver assistance where conventional transport can't.

By overcoming some of the biggest logistical barriers in humanitarian operations, these amphibious vehicles can help reduce delivery costs and expand access to communities that are difficult to reach.
