This initiative signifies a critical step towards ensuring food security and nutrition through adequate availability of food to communities 🤰🤱👶 in the Koshi province that are impoverished and need support the most.

An effective aid operation in Gaza requires security; staff who can work in safety; logistical capacity; and the resumption of commercial activity.    

These four elements do not exist.

⚠️ Over half a million people are starving in #Gaza.

And the entire population is facing severe food insecurity, according to a new @theIPCinfo report.

Safe, sustained and expanded humanitarian access is needed now.

But, more importantly, the war must end. ⬇️

No matter the weather, WFP is on the ground reaching the most vulnerable communities in #Afghanistan, helping them get through the winter when hunger bites hardest.

Watch 👀how our drivers move food across mountains🏔️and through snow❄️.

🔴 The 1st aid convoy from #Jordan has reached #Gaza after weeks of coordination.

The @WFP & @_JHCO 46-truck convoy carries 750 metric tons of food assistance.

This could pave the way for more sustained and scaled-up access to reach more families.

Prices of vegetables declined in October with more than 7 percent decrease due to harvest seasons.

However, the prices of staple food items remained high, increasing the cost of the food basket.

🔴It's been 2 months of a humanitarian catastrophe in #Gaza.

Still, he's on the ground daily ensuring assistance reaches families.

"More than 130 of my colleagues have already been killed many with their families. This is the largest single loss of life in the history of our Organization.

Some of our staff take their children to work so they know they will live or die together."

Our staff are not safe. There is starvation. We cannot distribute the aid we have.

We need a humanitarian ceasefire.

🚨 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.

[UAE Mission to the UN @UAEMissionToUN]

The UAE calls for a humanitarian ceasefire resolution to be adopted urgently and has just submitted a draft to the UNSC.

The situation in the Gaza Strip is catastrophic and close to irreversible. We cannot wait. The Council needs to act decisively to demand a humanitarian ceasefire.

In a rare invocation of the Secretary-General's authority under Article 99 of the UN Charter to bring matters that may threaten international peace and security to the attention of the Security Council, this morning the SG sent a letter urging the Council to act to avert a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza with wider implications for the OPT and regional peace and security. The UAE draft resolution has the support of the Arab and OIC group. This is a moral and humanitarian imperative and we urge all countries to support the call of the Secretary-General.
