“What I saw was clearly people very hungry.” Cindy McCain is the Executive Director of the World Food Programme and has been in Gaza this week. She described the conditions she saw on #BBCPM

More than half a million people in #Gaza are trapped in famine, according to a new IPC analysis. Famine is confirmed when three critical thresholds – extreme food deprivation, acute malnutrition and starvation-related deaths – have been breached. An immediate ceasefire is the safest way to ensure a large-scale humanitarian response that can save lives. Read: ow.ly/h3wb50WK7B2

WFP is doing everything possible to reach people affected by crisis in #SouthSudan, says WFP's @CarlSkau. However, a severe funding shortfall threatens ongoing support and places millions at risk of losing aid. 🔗Get the latest update: ow.ly/kbeE50Wt4WX

🗨️"They left with nothing. Arrived with nothing. And found... nothing." Refugees fleeing the conflict in #Sudan are on the brink as food aid risks major reductions. WFP's @CarlSkau tells @bbcworldservice why urgent support is critical. 🎧 Full interview with @robyounguk⤵️

WFP has supported more than 1 million people in greater Khartoum — a city devastated by war. Hunger has soared, and the needs remain staggering. We’re doing all we can to expand assistance across #Sudan. But without more resources, we can’t reach everyone.

In the world’s worst hunger emergencies, WFP is often the only lifeline. As hunger intensifies across📍13 hotspots, we need global support to keep saving lives. #HungerHotspots

Yesterday, under enormous challenges, our teams reached northern #Gaza with wheat flour for the first time since the blockade began. People were thanking us. But one delivery is not enough. We need to get there every day. Let us do our job.

📢 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Over half a million more children to get free nutritious #SchoolMeals every day in the #UnitedKingdom🇬🇧 starting September 2026, as part of @educationgovuk's plans to break down barriers to opportunity and give children a fair start in life.

WFP is doing everything possible to deliver emergency food supplies into #Gaza. Even at these levels, it’s still just a drop in the ocean, WFP's Antoine Renard explains ⤵️ 📣Humanitarian assistance must be scaled up, and sustained, before it is too late, for far too many.

"We have the capacity, and we can deliver." WFP's Deputy Executive Director, @CarlSkau tells @AJEnglish that "WFP can deliver to entire populations if given the conditions to do so." 🎧Carl describes what WFP has so far delivered into #Gaza & what people need to stay alive.

✈️ Access is everything The UN Humanitarian Air Services keeps #Sudan connected @WFP_UNHAS transports aid workers & vital supplies to the frontlines of the world's largest humanitarian crisis Every flight we operate is a lifeline Thanks to 🇨🇦🇪🇺🇫🇷🇯🇵🇰🇷🇳🇴🇸🇪🇨🇭🇬🇧🇺🇳🇺🇸 🙏

.@UNHAS planes and helicopters deliver lifesaving aid when no one else can—no matter where, no matter what. But without new funds, this vital service that keeps the entire humanitarian system moving will be grounded. @WFP needs $101m to ensure UNHAS stays in the skies in 2025.

People across #Gaza are at risk of famine. The latest food security analysis is a stark warning: we are in a race against time to prevent catastrophe. Behind the numbers are families — mothers desperately searching for their next meal.

🚨Report: The entire Gaza Strip is at risk of famine. Without immediate action, the critical lack of supplies in Gaza will push food insecurity, acute malnutrition and mortality levels past the famine thresholds within the next 5 months. Learn more: ow.ly/8MmM50VQW3a

SUDAN- With the rainy season fast approaching, WFP is scaling up to stock food in locations that will be inaccessible due to road conditions, especially in Darfur. Watch Leni Kinzli explain the scale of the response in an interview with @WilfredFrost on @SkyNews. @Lkinzli
