Pleased to host @Zoetis leadership in Isiolo to see first-hand how the Foundation’s support is helping @WFP link pastoralist to insurance, vet services, finances & markets, boosting productivity and resilience in a region that is prone to climate shocks.
There is little we can do for the people still in Rafah.
Roads are unsafe, access limited, and most of our partners and other humanitarian agencies have been displaced.
We need a ceasefire in #Gaza now.
For the first time since March, a Humanitarian Air Service aircraft has landed at the airport of Port-au-Prince.
Current international efforts must include an equally robust humanitarian assistance.
We're ready to deliver and support people in need.
No aid has entered #Gaza from the southern crossings in 3 days and only one bakery in Rafah is functioning.
Without a reopening of access, WFP's operations will go into standstill while families run out of food.
We’re proud to partner with the @Zoetis Foundation to support small-holder farmers. 💙🌾
In honor of #WorldVeterinaryDay, learn more about how WFP works with the veterinary community to combat hunger below. ⬇️
#ClimateAction: Today marks the launch of SEWAA project, a partnership between WFP, @ICPAC & National Meteorological Services, powered by https://t.co/7AwkXTiMQo.
Together, we're shifting from crisis response to proactive risk management in the face of extreme weather events 🌧
Six months on, the Israeli military campaign has brought relentless death & destruction to Gaza.
Lives shattered. Children dying for lack of food & water.
This is incomprehensible & entirely avoidable.
Nothing can justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.
Great to meet #Mykolaiv Governor @vitalij_kim today.
@WFP & @ETCluster agreed to set up internet connectivity in 8 humanitarian hubs in Nova Buh - where people gather to warm up, charge their phones or eat some food.
The work is already done - access points are up and running!
This morning, Israeli forces stopped ambulances taking discharged patients home outside Khalil Suleiman hospital. Paramedics and ambulance drivers were ordered out of the ambulances, stripped and made to kneel in the street. The patients were left in the ambulances...
Indiscriminate rocket fire by Hamas into Israel & use of civilians as human shields is against laws of war, but doesn't absolve Israel of its own violations.
Int'l humanitarian law can't be applied selectively.
It's binding equally at all times & doesn't depend on reciprocity.
Our staff are not safe. There is starvation. We cannot distribute the aid we have.
Today, from inside #Gaza, WFP's Deputy Executive Director @CarlSkau describes what he witnessed on the ground.
We need a humanitarian ceasefire.
In my whole carrier I have never seen anything like that:
48% of the people in North Gaza suffer from severe or extreme hunger.
90% in the North spent at least one full day & night without food, 18% for + 10 days in the past month.
In the South it is a just few digits better
🚨 Latest #Gaza Food Security Assessment is out. The results are alarming.
Almost no one in #Gaza has enough food. In some areas, 9 out of 10 people have went a full day and night with nothing to eat.

"We are nearly sure that we are alone now. No
one hears us... The problem is to be sure that we can evacuate the neonatal patients because we have
about 37 to 40 premature babies."
Dr Mohammed Obeid, surgeon at Al-Shifa hospital, shares his testimony from today⤵️
"The people that stayed behind are heroes."
A powerful testimony from MSF Nurse Activity Manager Emily (Cali) Callahan, who exited Gaza last Wed. She spoke w/ @andersoncooper on @CNN yesterday about the strength of the Palestinian staff still in Gaza.
Please stop launching fundraising campaigns. We don’t need money.
Money in #Gaza is useless while there is nothing to buy from the markets.
We need your governments to pressure Israel to immediately stop its war crimes & crimes against humanity.
I can’t reshare 99% of the videos and photos that cross my timeline. I can’t bear the responsibility of the trauma that might cause someone. But this is a clip you can watch. It will break your heart but these reunited children need us to see them.
