@BishopsMove_ I am desperately trying to get in touch with your baggage team but they never answer the phone. Please help

@7MonikaakinoM7 @NRSHealthcare You have missed your delivery slot and I have been on hold for 39 mins. Appalling customer service. I need to go to hospital to see my wife

TRANSFORMATIONAL! This is what fighting hunger and climate change looks like in #Niger.

Thanks to @WFP's resilience projects, 500,000 people did NOT need emergency food assistance last year — a savings of $30 million. Strategic, effective humanitarian support!

It’s hard to learn when you’re hungry.

When nutritious school meals are locally sourced it is an investment in children and local farmers.

That’s why @WFP supports school feeding programs reaching 15 million children in 61 countries.

Happy International #SchoolMealsDay!

Imagine the combined population of New York City, Los Angeles, Paris and Rome being without homes, electricity, food, water, or other essentials. That's exactly how this earthquake is impacting 18M people in #Turkiye and #Syria.

Where's the news? Where have the headlines gone??

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Standing at the epicenter here in Türkiye, where the scale of devastation I’m seeing is indescribable. 18 million people across the region have been impacted.

As this catastrophe fades from news headlines, I’m here to remind the world that we cannot forget these people.

[WFP Syria @WFP_Syria]

Since the quake, WFP has assisted over 650k ppl in non-government-controlled northwest Syria w/ emergency rations and/or monthly food baskets.

We're scaling⬆️to assist all those in need, including 1.4 million ppl in northwest who received regular food assistance prior to quakes.

In Beletweyne, #Somalia, I met Xalimo. She had to leave her home because of drought & conflict. She told me it's unlikely she'll be able to return there soon and needs to make a new life for herself here.

Meanwhile she receives cash from @WFP which helps keep her family alive.

What else is going to happen in the next 12 months? More conflicts, more natural disasters??

As I explained at @MunSecConf, if leaders roll back their support for global food security, we're going to pay 1000x more with starvation, destabilization & mass migration. #MSC2023

[WFP Syria @WFP_Syria]

🚨Update: Another 20 trucks with @WFP food supplies crossed from Türkiye into non-government controlled areas in northwest #Syria.

@kenn_crossley speaks about the importance of ensuring everybody in need, everywhere, can be reached in every possible way.

Final destination: Osmaniye Cevdetiye camp, where thousands of families have taken shelter after losing their homes.

[WFP Syria @WFP_Syria]

🚨 Update from #Syria earthquakes response: @WFP offloading emergency food rations in Hama.

Working with local partners, WFP has delivered food assistance to thousands of people affected by the #earthquakes and much more is coming.

[WFP Syria @WFP_Syria]

#UPDATE: In the wake of the earthquakes, thousands of Syrians spent the night at temporary shelters in extreme weather. 

@WFP started providing hot meals and ready-to-eat rations in some of these shelters, while more rations are being dispatched to the affected areas.

[World Food Programme @WFP]

"People need to eat."

Thousands of people are homeless and displaced in earthquake-affected #Syria, WFP's @kenn_crossley tells @IsaCNN.

WFP teams are working with partners to reach all those in need.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

If we're serious about ending hunger, we need everyone to join us – and the private sector has got to be front & center. Businesses can do well AND do good!

Thanks, @NobelPeaceOslo & @NorskHydroASA for inviting me to discuss how we can work together for positive social change.
