I am delighted to welcome Lucy Hale as a @WFP Goodwill Ambassador!

We are fortunate to have someone as passionate and committed as Lucy partnering with us. Her voice will bring attention to people & places too often overlooked – and help drive the action needed to reach them.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Important meeting with @SecRubio in DC. We discussed the increasing humanitarian needs worldwide – from Haiti to DRC, Sudan and beyond.

@WFP is grateful for the continued support from the American people, our single largest donor. Millions of lives have been saved because of it.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Great exchange with @EP_President Metsola on the need to keep food security high on the EU agenda.

As conflicts intensify, especially in Lebanon, Sudan and the Middle East, EU leadership is vital to defend the humanitarian space, uphold principles and advocate for access.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Crucial discussion with @kajakallas on the state of global food security, the implications of the Middle East crisis and the urgent response needed. @WFP values its strong partnership with the EU & Member States to deliver assistance at scale & safeguard humanitarian principles.

Leaving #Sudan after a week across the country. The international community has failed the Sudanese people; failed to prevent the conflict, and to protect civilians. Short of ending this war, providing lifesaving assistance is the very least it can do.

As co-chair of the Coalition for Addressing Sea-Level Rise and its Existential Threats #CSET, 🇩🇪 was pleased to co-host a workshop for the UN membership on the multidimensional threats of sea-level rise. Thanks to @Tuvalu_UN, @ROK_Mission and @GCCMobility for co-hosting.

Productive meeting with @sdprimeminister in Khartoum today on how to improve assistance across #Sudan. I also informed that @WFP's Country Office is finally moving back to the capital, 3 years after our premises were destroyed at the beginning of the war.

@WFP_MENA @WFPLebanon Amid all, I've seen Lebanese solidarity in action. Communities supporting communities. Govt is leading the response, heroic @WFP & partner teams have delivered hot meals & cash to 300k people. But these achievements are fragile. Donors must step up to sustain response & cohesion.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Such a boost to spend time with these passionate and courageous leaders of the humanitarian community. The headwinds are immense, but their organizations will be saving tens of millions of lives in 2026. Please back them.👇

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

When disaster strikes, every hour counts—and this year, @UNCERF didn't waste any time. Their funding helped @WFP deliver food to 25 countries, reaching people who would've gone hungry without it.

Thank you to CERF and its donors for acting fast and helping us save lives. #CERF20

@BarhamSalih Warmest congratulations on your election as UN High Commissioner for Refugees. Having you in this role at such a critical juncture for displaced people worldwide is genuinely great news. @BarhamSalih

In a world of rising conflict and hunger, Olympic spirit calls us back to shared humanity. Honoured to join @milanocortina26 UN event on the Olympic Truce. People living through war need peace, dignity and chance to thrive. It is our privilege to serve them in their time of need

"What's important for all of this to succeed is allowing us to access as many crossings as we can. We have food in #Ashdod, #Jordan & #Egypt that we would like to really surge into Gaza."
@SamerWFP speaks with @AJEnglish on the situation in #Gaza.

[World Food Programme @WFP]

Women, children and displaced families are hardest hit by #Haiti’s prolonged crisis, which is driving rising hunger and malnutrition.

New hunger analysis reveals that record 5.7 million people are currently experiencing acute levels of hunger, and malnutrition rates have doubled in two years.

Totally unacceptable. A targeted drone strike hit two @WFP trucks in #Ukraine.

No one was hurt, but the trucks—and the life-saving aid they were delivering—went up in flames.

Humanitarian workers, vehicles and cargo are #NotATarget. Anytime, anywhere.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

Sudan's man-made conflict has surpassed every imaginable limit.

Women and children are paying the highest price: violence, sexual abuse, starvation.

@UNOCHA keeps delivering life-saving assistance in impossible conditions, but only peace can end the suffering.

The people of Sudan deserve nothing less.

[Samer AbdelJaber @SamerWFP]

Behind every truck and bakery is a family waiting for food and safety.
@WFP is scaling up: 80+ trucks daily, 30 bakeries, food for 1.6 million people in #Gaza.

This ceasefire must hold so hope can truly take root.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Funding cuts and access constraints are fueling starvation worldwide.

With a global hunger crisis—including two famines—the world must step up, not back.

Thanks for the conversation, @FiringLineShow @MargaretHoover #UNGA80

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

2.3M people are facing severe hunger in eastern DRC and need food now. @WFP is reaching 734K of the most vulnerable—but we urgently need more funding to scale up.

Important meeting with President Tshisekedi to ensure continued access & greater partnership with the government.
