The sheer scale of people being displaced from their homes in the #DRCongo is pushing food insecurity to crisis proportions. WFP has reached over 1 million people with assistance but the strain on humanitarian response is deepening. ow.ly/SKf250VXCcB

Over 70,000 children in #Gaza face acute levels of malnutrition. WFP is taking every opportunity to deliver food and nutrition assistance - but this is just a drop in the bucket. To avert famine and save lives, we need immediate, unrestricted and safe access to deliver.

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.

Mothers. Children. Entire families in #Gaza are on the brink of starvation. Every day is a struggle to find their next meal. After 19 months of war and 80 days of blockade, the needs are overwhelming. Without urgent, safe, large-scale humanitarian access, lives will be lost.

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.

Cindy McCain, executive director of the United Nations World Food Programme, stressed the "immediate" need for aid and a ceasefire in Gaza. “If we don't do that, it's going to be a humanitarian catastrophe, as I've said, like none other.” abcnews.link/RW6u1T0

Cindy McCain of the UN World Food Programme said the previous ceasefire “proved that we can do the job” of providing humanitarian assistance into Gaza. “We were getting in over 600 trucks a day during the ceasefire into Gaza … And now we don’t.” abcnews.link/sqal85Z
