South Sudan is facing a succession crisis that could reshape its fragile future. On the latest "The Horn" podcast from @CrisisGroup, I join my colleague @alanboswell to discuss the political tremors and the rise of a potential heir apparent. https://t.co/XiTp3F0Jdy

“The beauty of this place cannot hide the brutal reality of life here.”

📽️@WFP_Afghanistan Country Director @Hsiao_Wei_Lee talks about the importance & challenges of reaching vulnerable communities in the most remote areas of #Afghanistan with food assistance.

[Carl Skau @CarlSkau]

Great to spend time with our remarkable @WFP teams in Jerusalem, #WestBank & #Gaza, who move mountains every day to get food and life-saving assistance to Palestinians in need. Many work in near impossible conditions, risking their lives. Deep respect and gratitude.

[Matthew Hollingworth @mfjhollingworth]

After several trials, @WFP & @UNOPS delivered fuel to a bakery in #GazaCity today to start producing #bread. Bakeries have been idle for months due to conflict & lack of access.
They need consistent flour & diesel deliveries & we need safe & sustained access to prevent famine

[WFP Media @WFP_Media]

The people of #𝐆𝐚𝐳𝐚 are living through an epic humanitarian catastrophe, with starvation, famine, and disease-bearing down on them.

On @ABCNewsLive, WFP's @mfjhollingworth explains what he saw inside the Strip and what's needed to meet the immense needs.

[World Food Programme @WFP]

The risk of famine in #Gaza increases with each passing day.

More than half a million people are enduring catastrophic levels of food insecurity - classified as living in the most extreme stage of hunger.

Globally, women working in human rights face multiple threats, including:

⚠️ Arrest
⚠️ Detention
⚠️ Death threats
Together with #GenerationEquality initiative and its Action Coalition on Gender-Based Violence, we call for effective protection mechanisms.
#NoExcuse #ActForEqual

[Samer AbdelJaber @SamerWFP]

Today, @WFP and @UNICEF had a joint mission to deliver vital food assistance to Al-Ahli hospital & surrounding areas.
It's a promising step, but the team recounted painful stories from the people who haven't received any aid in weeks.
They saw hunger, desperation, & destruction.

"They return to #Afghanistan at the worst of times."

At the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, our country director Hsiao-Wei talks about the consequences of the forced return of more than one million Afghans to the country:

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Thousands of Afghans forced to leave Pakistan cross into #Afghanistan daily.

@WFP has distributed food to 60k people at the border and is preparing to support up to 1M returnees.

But funding simply isn't keeping up as Afghans reel from brutal earthquakes and brace for winter.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

To ease suffering, make the delivery of aid easier & safer, and facilitate the release of hostages, I reiterate my appeal for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.

I salute my @UN colleagues & humanitarian partners in Gaza risking their lives to provide aid to those in need.

[World Food Programme @WFP]

WFP trucks carrying 60 metric tons of WFP emergency food and supplies are on their way into #Gaza. @SamerWFP

WFP has 930 metric tons of emergency items near the Rafah border, ready to be brought into #Gaza whenever access is allowed again.

[WFP Supply Chain and Delivery @WFPSupplyChain]

A @WFP-chartered flight and two other flights offered by @IHC_UAE with lifesaving humanitarian assistance, landed at Al-Arish Airport, Egypt, near the Rafah border crossing.

Food will be delivered to people in #Gaza as soon as safe and unimpeded humanitarian access is secured.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Another @WFP-contracted bakery was hit overnight in #Gaza.

Its bread was distributed by WFP staff to displaced families in shelters.

Of the 23 bakeries we work with, only 4 are operational today as most have run out of fuel.

People need safe access to food.

[WFP in Afghanistan @WFP_Afghanistan]

Multiple earthquakes have hit #Afghanistan flattening entire villages, killing more than 2000 people, and injuring thousands more.

This is what the situation looks like on the ground:
