A family member who placed order on Amazon, received 21 cans of Pringles potato chips beyond expiry dates. Selling food products beyond expiry dates is a very serious offence and a major lapse in safety standards. As Diwali approaches, consumers should be careful!

I strongly condemn the ruthless murder of our @WFP team member in #Yemen today.

Moayad was a dedicated humanitarian. He served WFP with tireless commitment for 18 years in Sudan, Syria & Iraq.

Those responsible must be held accountable. Aid workers should never be a target.
