#MondayMotivation 🌟📷 Rencontrez Michael Michael Castofas, le phénoménal photographe et vidéographe du World Food Programme à Kinshasa, #RDCongo 🇨🇩 Les #photographes #vidéographes du WFP sont des conteurs clés, qui amplifient les récits des personnes touchées par l'aide du WFP ⬇️


« If you don’t eat you can’t do anything » On #WorldChildrensDay, let Esther in #DRC tell you about her typical day. As the gap between humanitarian needs and resources widens, millions more children risk losing World Food Programme food. Their lives & our collective future are at stake.

“The worst ever.” Those are the stark words of Tom Fletcher Martin Griffiths, about the death and destruction in Gaza. Having worked in the field for decades, he adds “I don’t say that lightly.” Watch our full conversation.

Please listen to Shelley Thakral on the plight of people in the #DRC as they face massive challenges. ht: Cindy McCain

⛈️ Les abris trempés de boue, la surpopulation et l'accès limité à la nourriture et aux soins de santé de base rendent cette saison des pluies particulièrement difficile. Cette #COP28 - Distel Zola est au camp de Bulengo, Nord-Kivu, actuellement abritant 90 000 personnes📹


In #Sudan, 19 million children are deprived of education. Before the conflict, World Food Programme provided hot meals🥘. Now, many schools have become shelters. 📣 We need #CeasefireNow so children can resume classes.




I'm in Zambia, where a historic #ElNiño drought has cost the country half of its harvest. In the region’s breadbasket, 6.6 million people face acute hunger. World Food Programme and our partners are responding but urgently need resources to do more.

Wishing Cindy McCain the happiest of birthdays from the DRC 🎉 INNOSS'B & Distel Zola
