🔴The #Ebola outbreak in eastern #DRC is compounding an already severe humanitarian situation, where millions are facing extreme levels of hunger driven by conflict and displacement. 🔴WFP is on the ground, moving responders & supplies and providing food and nutrition to affected families.

The devastating impacts of the crisis in the Middle East: - @WFP's operational costs are up 20%. - 1.5M fewer people are receiving life-saving food. - 45M more people may be pushed into hunger globally. This is the human cost of war. My conversation with @greta at @NEWSMAX.

Hunger and malnutrition are threatening millions of lives in Sudan. The international community must move now with funding, access & the political will to stop this crisis from becoming an even greater tragedy. Our joint statement with @UNICEF & @FAOnews wfp.org/news/joint-new…

🆘In #DRC, millions of families are running out of options. Conflict and displacement cut people off from food, while rising costs push basic meals out of reach. ⚠️ Needs are outpacing what WFP can deliver. Urgent support is needed. 🔗Learn more: ow.ly/G2cX50YZn8q

$200 million in supply chain savings = 1.2 million more people receiving food assistance every month.   Thanks to our @WFPSupplyChain team for driving these critical efficiencies — and for working even harder to deliver more for less this year.
WFP Supply Chain and Delivery@WFPSupplyChain

Every day, @WFP’s supply chain delivers assistance at the best possible cost. As needs soared in 2025, we doubled down to stretch limited funds. By saving US$200M, we reached 1.2M more people every month with lifesaving support. That’s the real impact of efficiencies. 💙

More than 1,000 aid workers killed in three years. This is unacceptable—and an absolute failure. Humanitarian law must be upheld. Humanitarians must be protected. Humanitarian work must continue. Grateful to @MilkenInstitute for the conversation. Aid workers are #NotATarget.

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!

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.

⚠️ #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

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.

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.

Amina almost lost her child to malnutrition—a condition that should never be a death sentence. We know how to treat it. We know how to prevent it. Yet @WFP only has $ to reach 1 in 5 children in Kenya who need this critical support. When funds run short, children pay the price.

410,000 people. No statistic prepares you for what that looks like on the ground. I was last here in Dadaab 18 months ago—and the situation is more urgent than ever. Families are in dire need of emergency food AND investments in self-reliance. We must act. Lives depend on it.
