World Food Programme

A global hunger emergency is looming. High prices and ongoing conflict linked to the Middle East crisis are pushing food beyond reach for millions. At the same time, rising costs have already forced WFP to stop assisting 1.5M people. ➡️Learn more

📍#Gaza: Six months into the ceasefire and food security remains a major concern. 🟡Families face numerous challenges as hunger continues to cast its shadow over many lives. 🟡WFP is on the ground, supporting those most in need, but true recovery requires more than just aid.

In 2025, @WFP ✅ Sourced US$1B worth of food ✅ Moved 55 planes, 136 ships & 4,336 trucks daily ✅ Delivered 2.3M tons of food to communities in need. These aren't just numbers. They’re the difference between hunger and survival. See the impact behind the numbers.👇 #SoWhat

🔴 Global shocks don’t stay in markets — they show up in what families can afford to eat. If the conflict in the Middle East continues and fuel prices remain high, even basic staples will be pushed out of reach for millions, driving acute hunger higher in 2026.

🔴Before the Middle East crisis, 318 million people were severely hungry. Now, around the world, food prices are shooting up and the most vulnerable people will be hit hardest. 📣We must act now to prevent catastrophe for millions. ow.ly/NJNy50YUgy7

Meet our incredible @WFP team in Kenya. Against extraordinary odds—complex emergencies, conflicts and climate shocks—they deliver food and hope where both are hard to find. Because a world without hunger is worth fighting for. Thank you, @WFP_Kenya & @WFP_Africa for all you do!

This is what progress looks like. Sarah used to rely on @WFP food assistance. Now she runs her own farm, feeds her family & sells the surplus. Thousands more across Kenya are doing the same. Resilience programs don’t just transform lives—they reduce the need for aid altogether.

📍#Bangladesh: WFP has activated its anticipatory action response to deliver lifesaving cash assistance to communities at risk of severe flooding. More than 20,000 households have so far received assistance. Together with early warning messages, families are better able to prepare, protecting their homes, livelihoods, and access to food. Bangladesh is among the countries most at risk of climate disasters. Early action is essential.

🔴 More support is urgently needed in #SouthSudan - before today's emergency becomes tomorrow's famine. WFP's Ross Smith breaks down what's happening and what's needed now ⤵️

Families in #SouthSudan are facing worsening hunger and malnutrition, especially in areas where conflict is escalating. Women and children like Nyawiel's are being hit the hardest.

Nearly a quarter of people in #Lebanon are facing acute food insecurity. Behind every number are families struggling to meet their food needs consistently. @WFP continues to scale up with the support of partners and donors to reach those most in need.

South Sudan is on the brink.   New data shows that 7.8 million people — 55% of the population — are struggling with acute hunger. The risk of famine is growing and 700,000 children are facing life-threatening malnutrition.   We need access. We need funding. We need action NOW.

📍 Families in #Lebanon are being forced to make difficult choices, with nearly a quarter of people now facing acute food insecurity. WFP's @AllisonOLawi explains what's needed now ⤵️

Two @logcluster convoys delivering humanitarian assistance today. One of the locations is the border village of Rmeich where @WFP delivered food and other essential items. Our Country Director @AllisonOLawi explains the importance of sustained access to continue addressing needs.

⚠️ #Lebanon: A sharp escalation in violence has reversed recent food security gains and pushed the country back into crisis. Acute food insecurity is likely to deepen without sustained and timely humanitarian and livelihood support. ow.ly/kLwk50YRFVv

📍#SouthSudan: Conflict and displacement are driving a worsening hunger crisis. The latest data shows a risk of #famine areas hardest hit, and nearly 700,000 children in danger of severe and deadly malnutrition. ⚠️ More support is urgent or their future is at risk, WFP's Adham Effendi explains ⤵️

The crisis in the Middle East isn't staying in the Middle East. @WFP's supply hub in Mombasa stores & delivers food for 16 countries—but costs are rising & this lifeline is buckling.   If funding and conditions don’t stabilize, 9M people worldwide will lose life-saving food aid.

🆘New data from #SouthSudan shows a dramatic increase in acute food insecurity - now representing one of the highest levels in the world today. There is now credible risk of famine in four areas where conflict has cut communities off from food, markets, and essential services. 🔗Learn more: ow.ly/87Ms50YR6la

Today's rising and increasingly entrenched hunger demands collective action. With @FAO and @IFAD, WFP is strengthening our joint collaboration - through shared platforms and common services that improve delivery and efficiencies to reach more people where it matters most.
