During my visit to Haiti I witnessed a humanitarian crisis of extraordinary proportions driven by insecurity.
Amid severely constrained access & security challenges, @WFP_UNHAS is serving as a daily lifeline for humanitarian operations around the world.
I have just arrived in Port-au-Prince on a solidarity visit with the people of Haiti.
The humanitarian situation here is desperate, but there are faint glimmers of hope.
My message to the international community:
Stop looking away.
We must stand with Haiti.
Meet our incredible @WFP team in Kenya. Against extraordinary odds—complex emergencies, conflicts and climate shocks—they deliver food and hope where both are hard to find. Because a world without hunger is worth fighting for.
Thank you, @WFP_Kenya & @WFP_Africa for all you do!
