Spoke with our team in South Sudan today. Impressed by their agility and determination to reach people displaced and cut off by fighting in #Akobo- by river when roads are cut, and by air when the river is unsafe.
Airdrops save lives, but focus now is restoring markets and cash.

Spent time this morning with our brilliant Kyiv team. After last night's brutal attacks, they still showed up with the same dedication to support frontline communities in need. My focus for this visit is to make sure our efforts to ensure their safety match their courage.

There's been more strikes on Odesa, latest in a series of escalating attacks. Reports of deaths and port infrastructure hit. Last week, overlooking these ports, I highlighted the dire consequences of continued attacks for people of Ukraine and food reaching people worldwide.

Congrats to Spain on a well-deserved World Cup win! Played as a team, won as a team. Carrying that same spirit today with @ONUGuatemala and @WFPGuatemala colleagues. Different field, same lesson: it’s what we achieve together that makes the difference.

In Hamburg with @BMZ_Bund and @unicefchief to back the Call to Action to end child malnutrition through food fortification - a simple, powerful tool. @WFP brings the expertise to scale it.
No child should go to bed hungry. Thanks to Germany for bringing us together.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Even in the toughest crises, nutritious food saves lives. @WFP fortifies the food we deliver to give children the nutrients they need, quickly and effectively. It can be life-saving in a child’s first 1,000 days.

Important discussion today at #HSC26.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

The first 72 hours are critical. As rescue teams work to find survivors, @WFP teams are pre-positioning food and lending our logistics capacity to support a full response for the people of #Venezuela.

I spoke to @BBCWorld on the situation and need for fast action.

[United Nations in India @UNinIndia]

📸 UN Secretary-General's Special Advocate for Financial Health @UNSGSA H.M. Queen Máxima of the Netherlands & #TeamUNinIndia held a series of interactions, including with government officials & development partners to leverage financial inclusion to accelerate the #SDGs in India

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Mis pensamientos esta mañana están con las víctimas de los terremotos en #Venezuela. Toda nuestra solidaridad con el pueblo venezolano.
El PMA está preparado para brindar asistencia y apoyar los esfuerzos de respuesta para llegar rápidamente a las comunidades. Estamos con ustedes

[Carl Skau @CarlSkau]

Just met with @Chikwe_I @WHO on how to strengthen our ongoing joint Ebola response in #DRC and the region. People shouldn't have to choose between health and hunger. This is a crisis within a crisis. The outbreak cannot be contained unless all basic needs are addressed.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

This year marks 30 years of the Executive Board guiding @WFP through unprecedented challenges.

The open and honest conversations in these rooms push us to reach further and respond faster.

Ending hunger is possible when we all work together.

[WFP in Afghanistan @WFP_Afghanistan]

Deeply grateful for the generous support from @Kemlu_RI 🇮🇩 to school meals for children in Afghanistan 🙏🏼

For many children, these fortified biscuits are the most nutritious meal of the day.

This partnership means education, health & nutrition for children in Afghanistan.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex visited @WFP with a powerful reminder that ending hunger is a responsibility we all share. Honored to have welcomed His Holiness. He stood with our team, called for global action to end hunger and the conflicts behind it.
On behalf of all @WFP, thank you.

[Carl Skau @CarlSkau]

The Executive Board room was purple today for #WomenInDiplomacy. Women’s impact on the decisions made in these rooms is felt every day. More rooms should look like this.

The full participation of women is key to end the conflicts and inequalities that drive hunger.

[Carl Skau @CarlSkau]

Great energy in the room as we open @WFP's Executive Board.
30 years, 36 Member States, one focus: ending hunger for the people we serve. As we adapt to growing needs, we meet to align on transparency, efficient support to frontline teams, reform & partnership. Big week ahead.

[Carl Skau @CarlSkau]

Deeply inspiring visit by Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex today. His encouraging words to @WFP staff, those working under immense pressure around the world, boosted morale and gave us support. Thank you, Your Holiness. This recognition makes us more determined in our fight against hunger.

[World Food Programme @WFP]

We are deeply honored to welcome His Holiness Pope Leo XIV to WFP Headquarters in Rome.

His message speaks to the heart of WFP’s mission and acts as a powerful reminder of why the fight against hunger matters. 💙

[World Food Programme @WFP]

Food is more than nourishment.

It brings people together, strengthens communities and creates the foundation for health, opportuntiy and prosperity.

Yet in a world of plenty, millions still go hungry. That’s the moral test of our time.
