I’ve always believed that life unfolds in its own mysterious ways, but never in my wildest dreams did I expect this kind of plot twist at 39. I wrote about my journey - let me take you through it.

To women who have endured so much and still fighting. To women who are pressured to be modest yet stressed by the society. You are powerful. You are strong. You are resilient.

[World Food Programme @WFP]

Today WFP joins the UN family to mark a moment of silence to mourn, remember, and honour our colleagues who lost their lives in #Gaza.

We are heartbroken. We will continue to remember their work and honour their memories.

[WFP in the Middle East & North Africa @WFP_MENA]

🚨For every person who received food assistance in #Gaza, at least 6 more are in need.

@WFP Spokesperson @AbeerEtefa explains why sustained access to Gaza is critical.

While families go hungry, @WFP has trucks with food for over 400,000 people on standby near the #Rafah border.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Joint statement by @UNDP, @UNFPA, @UNICEF, @WFP and WHO on humanitarian supplies crossing into Gaza

A first, but limited, shipment of life-saving humanitarian supplies from the United Nations and the Egyptian Red Crescent entered Gaza today on 20 trucks, passing through the Rafah Crossing.

It will provide an urgently needed lifeline to some of the hundreds of thousands of civilians, mostly women and children, who have been cut off from water, food, medicine, fuel  and other essentials. But it is only a small beginning and far from enough. More than 1.6 million people in Gaza are in critical need of humanitarian aid. Children, pregnant women and the elderly remain the most vulnerable. Nearly half of Gaza’s population are children.

With so much civilian infrastructure in Gaza damaged or destroyed in nearly two weeks of constant bombings, including shelters, health facilities, water, sanitation, and electrical systems, time is running out before mortality rates could skyrocket due to disease outbreaks and lack of health-care capacity.

Hospitals are overwhelmed with casualties. Civilians face mounting challenges in accessing essential food supplies. Health facilities no longer have fuel and are running on small amounts they have secured locally. These are expected to run out in the next day or so. Water production capacity is at 5 per cent of normal levels. Pre-positioned humanitarian supplies have already been depleted. Vulnerable people are at greatest risk and children are dying at an alarming rate and being denied their right to protection, food, water and health care.

Nearly one-third of the population of Palestine was food insecure before this conflict in Gaza. Today stocks in shops are nearly exhausted and bakeries are closing, while tens of thousands of people are displaced and unable to cook or safely purchase food.

We call for a humanitarian ceasefire, along with immediate, unrestricted humanitarian access throughout Gaza to allow humanitarian actors to reach civilians in need, save lives and prevent further human suffering. Flows of humanitarian aid must be at scale and sustained, and allow all Gazans to preserve their dignity.

We call for safe and sustained access to water, food, health – including sexual and reproductive health – and fuel, which is necessary to enable essential services.

We call for the protection of all civilians and civilian infrastructure in Gaza, including health-care facilities.

We call for the protection of humanitarian workers in Gaza who are risking their lives in the service of others.

And we call for the utmost respect of international humanitarian law by all parties.

Gaza was a desperate humanitarian situation before the most recent hostilities. It is now catastrophic. The world must do more.

[WFP in the Middle East & North Africa @WFP_MENA]

3 trucks carrying @WFP emergency food assistance crossed into #Gaza.

But these are not enough to cover the needs.

Imagine having to line up for hours to get bread amidst the ongoing crisis.

🚨 This is the reality for families in Gaza. They cannot be left to starve.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

With only days of food left in #Gaza, time is running out.

Trucks of @WFP food & other humanitarian supplies are at the border ready to go.

Humanitarians need reliable, sustained access and the ability to distribute aid safely.

Thanks @BBCWorld for the important conversation.

[World Food Programme @WFP]

WFP welcomes today’s opening of the #RafahCrossing which enabled a first convoy of trucks to bring in urgently needed food, water, and other essential supplies into #Gaza.

Part of the convoy -- three trucks carrying 60 metric tons of WFP emergency food.

[WFP in the Middle East & North Africa @WFP_MENA]

🔴#BREAKING: Trucks carrying 60 metric tons of @WFP emergency food amongst the first humanitarian convoy to cross the #Rafah border between #Egypt & #Gaza.

Another 930 tons of emergency food is at or near the border, ready to be brought into Gaza once access is allowed again.

Thanks to @USDAForeignAg for supporting 42K students in 140 schools in Cox’s Bazar through school feeding, literacy and nutrition and health package!

Together, we can combat child hunger and malnutrition and contribute to a brighter future for all Bangladeshi children. 💪✨
