The government of the Republic of #Korea has provided USD 5 million for food assistance in #Palestine.

This contribution will help WFP provide vital cash-based food assistance to over 100,000 conflict-affected Palestinians in #Gaza and the #WestBank.

In #Yemen, conflict is displacing hundreds of thousands of families like Hassan's. WFP is delivering vital food assistance, but needs remain immense. Food, water, clothing & other basic essentials are still urgently needed.

The harsh living conditions in parts of the MENA region = girls are forced out of school to help their families.

This is where @WFP school meals come in, as they contribute to an increase in school enrolment.

Help more girls stay at school: https://t.co/8KtY731Zgs

📍 #Gaza
After losing her husband, Rahma was left to care for her seven children in a shelter beside the ruins of their home.

Through WFP’s cash-for-work programme, she works with women in her community to turn WFP flour sacks into shades & tote bags—helping support her family.

👶 WFP begins its journey with children during their first 1,000 days of life.

Nutrition programs during this critical period are essential to fight malnutrition.

@WFP prioritizes providing nutritious food assistance to support young children.

A WFP food basket provides food to families in need due to conflict or disaster.

Includes:
✅ Cereals
✅ Pulses
✅ Vegetable oil
✅ Iodized salt

WFP tailors baskets to local needs, sometimes offering cash or vouchers for direct shopping.

Rahma, a mother of seven, lost her husband in the war in #Gaza, shortly after their home was destroyed.

Through WFP’s cash-for-work programme, she now works with women in her community to turn WFP flour sacks into shades and tote bags—helping support her family.

Conflict and hunger go hand in hand.

We cannot address food security without addressing the root causes of conflict.

And we cannot build peace when millions are hungry. #UNGA81 #UNGA

[School Meals Coalition @SchoolMeals_]

🚨 A child in a crisis setting faces enormous barriers to education & nutrition.

🩹 Evidence shows #SchoolMeals can help address both at once.

➡️ A @WFP evaluation across #DRC 🇨🇩, #Lebanon 🇱🇧, #Niger 🇳🇪 & #Syria 🇸🇾 found that #SchoolMeals improved food security, increased dietary diversity & contributed to school participation & nutritional benefits for the most vulnerable children under emergency conditions.

[WFP Yemen @WFPYemen]

As conflict intensifies on Yemen’s west coast, hundreds of thousands of families are on the move. At the same time, even a basic food basket is becoming harder to access and afford.
Here’s what you need to know about the deepening hunger crisis:

[World Food Programme @WFP]

Hunger is not just a humanitarian issue. It is a threat to stability, prosperity, and peace.

If we want a more peaceful and prosperous world, food security must be part of the solution.

No nation can thrive if its people are hungry. #UNGA

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

The journey was exhausting & difficult. The distance was long, and there was no transport available,” says Mohammed, a displaced father in #Yemen.
At Al-Firdous Camp in Aden, WFP provides emergency food assistance to around 400 displaced people, including Mohammed and his family.

[World Food Programme @WFP]

🆘 #Yemen: WFP is scaling up its emergency response, so far reaching over 50,000 newly displaced people in Aden.

More support is urgently needed as fighting forces thousands of families from their homes.

[World Food Programme @WFP]

📣The warning signs are impossible to ignore.

Hunger is deepening while lifesaving assistance is being pushed to a breaking point.

At #UNGA, leaders must act: end conflict, protect humanitarian access and urgently fund humanitarian assistance. Millions of lives depend on it.

[World Food Programme @WFP]

No single organization can meet today's humanitarian challenges alone.

Through the Integrated Supply Chain Network and UN System Services Hub, UN agencies are increasingly planning and delivering supply chains together, reaching more people, faster and more effectively.

That's what practical UN80 reform looks like in action. #UNGA

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

🚨 Conflict is the main driver of hunger in most of the world’s food crises today.

WFP works to break this cycle - delivering food assistance to save lives in times of crisis and sow the seeds of peace for the future.

📣 Without #peace we will never end hunger.

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

Hunger and starvation should never be used as a tool of war.

We must protect civilians, ensure aid reaches those who need it, and prevent food systems from becoming casualties of conflict. #UNGA81 #UNGA

[World Food Programme @WFP]

As #UNGA81 begins, WFP calls on leaders, governments, and businesses to protect food security.

➡️ Advance political solutions to end conflict.

➡️ Step up funding for life-saving aid.

➡️ Mobilize private sector investment, technology, and expertise.

➡️ Invest in early action before crises escalate.

[World Food Programme @WFP]

Conflict and hunger go hand in hand.

We cannot address food security without addressing the root causes of conflict.

And we cannot build peace when millions are hungry. #UNGA81
