In London to discuss how to meet increasing humanitarian needs. UK is an important partner to World Food Programme and a thought-leader on food security. We agreed on the need to invest more in prevention and work with local communities to strengthen resilience.

The situation in Gaza is intolerable. With winter setting in, it’s vital that more aid gets in. At the Gaza Humanitarian Conference I announced more support for UNRWA World Food Programme and UN Humanitarian. We urgently need a ceasefire, the release of all hostages and an end to the suffering.

As winter sets in the humanitarian situation in Gaza is worsening still. As well as an immediate ceasefire and the release of hostages, Israel must remove all impediments to aid reaching Gazans who urgently need support. We must end the suffering in Gaza.

Shocked and saddened to hear 3 WFP aid workers have been killed by an airstrike in Yabus, Sudan. Famine is spreading & yet Sudan is one of the most dangerous places to be an aid worker. The warring parties must adhere to international humanitarian law and ensure their safety.

Foreign Secretary David Lammy visited the Chad-Sudan border yesterday to bear witness to one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world. Famine in Sudan is spreading rapidly – and yet warring parties continue to block access to critical food aid.
