Shocked and horrified: 9 team members from World Food Programme’s partner Relief International were killed while saving lives in Zamzam camp, a place gripped by famine. We mourn this senseless loss & stand with their families, loved ones, and all at Relief International. Humanitarians are #NotATarget.

Amazing

A very sad day - may our Holy Father rest in peace

PM Meloni, “a great man, with whom one could speak with great simplicity as one would with their own parish priest.” President Mattarella, "besides the pain, I feel a sense of emptiness, the deprivation of a point of reference I looked up to."

Humanitarian aid is finally reaching Gaza, but it’s only a tiny drop in the bucket. World Food Programme has enough food to feed 2M Gazans for two months at the border. We are in a race against time to halt a full-scale famine. We need SAFE, unfettered access NOW. Delays cost lives.
