Today we opened the WFP Caribbean Regional Logistics Hub in Barbados. The hub will service our region and significantly improve our disaster response. Thanks to World Food Programme, World Food Program USA, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, EUinBarbados, Canada in Barbados and the OECS & USEmbassy Bridgetown. This is the power of partnerships.



📍Masisi, North Kivu: conflict has uprooted families again & again. 🎥 Watch Elvira Pruscini, WFP DRC Country Director, who urges the world not to look away. World Food Programme is running out of cash & food. We need $426M to keep going 🚨 Without funding, 1.3M people risk losing lifesaving support


.World Food Programme is continuing to do absolutely everything we can to reach 28M Congolese experiencing acute food insecurity due to conflict. We need urgent funding or 1.3M people will lose access to food aid by this summer.


"UNHAS is life saving & life changing in this region." 🔊Hear from Cindy McCain on NPR about how UN Humanitarian Air Service remains critical for the entire humanitarian community to access people in urgent need in #DRC 🇨🇩 Funding is needed FAST to ensure that no one is left behind. #SavingLives

33M children in the most fragile places suffer from wasting—the deadliest form of malnutrition. It robs them of their futures & often their lives. World Food Programme & UNICEF are scaling up to end to this. We have the know-how & tools. Now we need increased investment. #StopWasting



Congratulations to Sidi Ould Tah on your election to lead #AfDB! World Food Programme looks forward to deepening our partnership with African Development Bank Group. Together, we share a commitment to driving progress toward a food-secure, well-nourished Africa.

In my 30 years working in #DRC, I’ve seen the strength and resilience of its people, plus the devastating toll of hunger and conflict. 28M+ face acute food insecurity. World Food Programme is delivering food to people who need it most, but without urgent funding, this lifeline can’t hold.
