⛈️ 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.

#Rafah: Our main warehouse is now inaccessible. No aid has entered from southern crossings in 2 days. Thousands of ppl are on the move. Only 1 bakery is still working. Supplies of food & fuel in #Gaza will only last 1-3 days. Without them, our operations will go into standstill.

Very proud of the partnership between UNICEF and World Food Programme to support nutritious and safe meals, nutrition supplements, and nutrition education to keep children well-nourished and learning.   It is improving the lives of millions of children across countries and regions.

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.

THREAD: 1. PERSONAL NEWS: Today BBC News has announced plans to close BBC HARDtalk after 3 decades holding the world’s politicians and powerbrokers to account. This is sad news for me personally, but much more important, I think it’s depressing news for the BBC🧵
