Conflict fuels hunger. It’s driving families to the edge of famine in Sudan, Gaza, Haiti, South Sudan & Mali––and 8 more hot spots––where World Food Programme is doing everything we can to get food in. This new report is a call to act NOW with funding, solutions to end conflicts & access.

A United Nations hunger report raises alarm over 13 emergencies. IN Gaza, Sudan, South Sudan, Mali, & Haiti, people face the immediate threat of starvation. The more support & access World Food Programme & Food and Agriculture Organization can get, the more lives that can be saved. Most of all, we need peace. wfp.org/stories/photos…

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres condemns the loss of lives and injuries of civilians in #Gaza who are, once again, being shot at while seeking food. Hungry civilians are #NotATarget.


"Diplomacy remains the only way to address concerns regarding #Iran’s nuclear programme & regional security issues. The UN Charter remains our shared framework to save people from the scourge of war. I urge all Member States to comply fully with the Charter." - António Guterres


"The Israeli military must stop shooting at people trying to get food. Israel must also allow the entry of food and other humanitarian assistance needed to sustain the lives of Palestinians in #Gaza in accordance with international law, humanitarian principles." - UN Human Rights

Kfarchouba was home to 11,000 people—today, only 1,000 are living here. I visited southern Lebanon & met with government stakeholders still grappling with the aftermath of destruction. World Food Programme continues to work with partners to help ease the burden through food assistance.
