🆘 Akobo is one of four counties in #SouthSudan at risk of famine. @WFP_SouthSudan has reached more than 60,000 people over the last 3 weeks with critical food and nutrition assistance.
⚠️ Sustained access and an end to fighting is urgent to reach all those in need.
🚨 #Ebola outbreak: WFP is scaling up its response in #DRC to support families affected by the virus.

Hear from WFP’s Nikhila ⤵️
In Akobo, #SouthSudan, families are already facing catastrophic hunger — and the situation is worsening.
WFP's Mutinta Chimuka explains how teams are scaling up assistance, even as conflict and the rainy season restrict access.
📍 #DRC: On the frontlines of the Ebola response, cooks like Mama Arlette are preparing essential meals for patients, people in isolation, healthcare workers and caregivers — with support from WFP and @USForeignAssist.
“Good food is also medicine,” she says.
📣 As the outbreak spreads, these meals help ensure people don’t have to choose between protecting themselves and finding food.

People facing #Ebola in #DRC have endured years of conflict, displacement and hunger. They know what is needed. Outbreaks are stopped when they lead.
To support, @WFP is working with partners to move health workers, supplies and food fast. Speed and solidarity can end an outbreak
🇨🇩 Outbreaks don’t just spread disease.
They deepen hunger.
🚫Malnutrition = higher Ebola mortality
🚫Food systems & incomes collapse
🚫Infant feeding disrupted
🚨Hunger rises fast
🎥@WFP’s Dr. Kouhin-Néa Doré, explains the hidden link between Ebola & hunger.🙏@USForeignAssist
🔴The #Ebola outbreak in eastern #DRC is compounding an already severe crisis, with millions of people facing extreme hunger.
🔵 @WFPDRC is on the ground moving responders & supplies and providing food and nutrition to families.
We’re on the ground. We’re ready to deliver.
What’s missing is funding. More than $600 million needed to prevent further assistance cuts.
Ahead of the 3-year mark of the war in #Sudan, Country Director @AbdallahAlward1 explains what’s at stake:
#3YearsTooLong
Three years into the war in Sudan, families are facing immense suffering.
Now, Red Sea disruptions are driving up the cost of food and deepening hunger.
@WFP is prioritizing the hardest‑hit areas, but more support is needed. https://t.co/mNrlmTnTBq
Acute hunger has doubled worldwide over the past decade.
Extreme food insecurity is now 9 times higher.
For the first time, 2 famines were declared in the same year.

Once, everything was within reach. Now, even one meal a day was a struggle.
Food assistance is helping her and millions of families in #Sudan start again.
This is Entisar’s story:
WFP in #Sudan welcomes a USD 51.5M contribution from the United States 🇺🇸 through the Sudan Humanitarian Fund.
This support will enable WFP to deliver life‑saving emergency food and cash assistance to families and provide essential logistics support for humanitarian partners.
In parts of #Sudan, food assistance can mean the difference between life and death.
Khadija is one of 34 million people across the country who need support to survive.
She walked for days through the desert with her children, after losing everything.
Now, even one meal a day isn’t guaranteed.
This is Buthyina’s story. 19 million people still suffer from acute hunger in #Sudan.
The most sustainable food assistance is helping farmers grow their own food.
In Dongola, WFP and @AfDB_Group support farmers with seeds, fertilizer and equipment to grow more wheat, feed their families and sell the surplus.
More local food. Stronger food security in #Sudan.
As conflict shifts in Sudan, so do people’s needs.
Flexible funding helps WFP move fast and deliver aid where it’s needed most.
Thank you @LithuaniaMFA for your flexible support to WFP’s response in Sudan. 🙏
