Starvation, crumbling healthcare & education systems, escalating instability, widespread displacement.
These will the devastating consequences of US cuts on the most vulnerable populations.
As an EU Commissioner, I am on the ground to make a firsthand assessment.
World Food Programme@WFP
STATEMENT: WFP is deeply concerned by recent notifications from the US administration indicating that funding for emergency food assistance in 14 countries has been terminated. 🔵If implemented, this could amount to a death sentence for millions of people facing extreme hunger and starvation. We are in contact with the US administration to seek clarification and to urge for continued support for these life-saving programmes. 🔵WFP is grateful for the contributions it receives from the US and all its donors. Our staff continue to work tirelessly to reach vulnerable communities with vital food assistance in hunger hot spots around the world.

This is exactly why humanitarian efforts persist during one of the most challenging times for #Haiti
It's truly inspiring to witness how our @WFP_UNHAS colleagues & crew keep the big #Sikorsky hovering, even on weekends, to ensure the movement of humanitarian cargo & personnel💪

A million more people in Somalia at risk of severe hunger, as drought, conflict and high food prices disrupt farming, and increase humanitarian needs.

Escalating violence in #Haiti's capital has forced 25,000 people to flee in two weeks. Many were already displaced and now seek refuge in new sites or with host families.
As safe spaces shrink, IOM continues to help residents who feel trapped.

Wars have rules.
We need support to defend international humanitarian law.
This is not about theory, it is about lives.

ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE: A @WFP convoy, clearly marked & carrying 8 team members, was shot at by Israeli forces near Wadi Gaza despite prior clearances. Humanitarians are #NotATarget!
We MUST have safe, secure access to continue delivering life-saving aid.

Last week, @WFP delivered safety-net cash transfers to 42,000 displaced people, alongside an SMS campaign offering tips on financial education & nutrition.
These efforts aim to promote sustainable practices in vulnerable communities.

I’m furious at the killing of our humanitarian colleagues. We need accountability and protection.
My sincere condolences to the families and friends grieving, to @WFPChief and to all at @WFP.
The worst year on record for humanitarians just got even worse.
Cindy McCain@WFPChief
Shocked and heartbroken by the loss of three @WFP team members in an aerial bombardment in Blue Nile State, Sudan. Any loss of life in humanitarian service is unconscionable. Aid workers are not – and should never be – a target. #NotATarget wfp.org/news/statement…

5,000 people were displaced following armed attacks over the weekend in several neighborhoods of Port-au-Prince.
These acts led to the opening of new displacement sites, while others were abandoned because of gang violence.
