The consequences of the conflict in the Middle East are falling on people who do not have the margins to cope. WFP's @CarlSkau explains how the price of fuel, fertilizers and supply chain disruptions could lead to a spike in global hunger. ⤵️

🌙 #EidMubarak! As the blessed month of #Ramadan ends, we’re reflecting on the compassion, empathy and generosity you've shown in providing nourishing #meals to people in need. 🤗 bit.ly/EidMubarak26 Wishing a joyful and peaceful #Eid to all celebrating! 💛 @WFP #EndHunger

This Eid looks different for families across #Lebanon. Displacement has left hundreds of thousands without a safe place to celebrate. @WFP with partners, remains on the ground—delivering assistance where it’s needed most.

We are on the edge of a catastrophic surge in global hunger: @WFP projects an additional 45M people could be pushed into hunger if the Middle East crisis rages on. Rising food and fuel prices WILL cause starvation and destabilization—hitting the most vulnerable the hardest.

The impact of conflict ripples through our food systems - and families will feel it first. Roughly 45 million more people could be pushed into acute hunger this year if conflict in the Middle East persists. Without an adequately funded humanitarian response, it could spell catastrophe for millions already on the edge. ow.ly/OKMj50YvlUI

From the very first hours of the escalation, WFP rapidly mobilized its emergency response alongside humanitarian partners. Today, over a million people have been displaced, 130,000 of them seeking refuge in schools and emergency shelters. 🎥Watch WFP’s Anne Valand as she explains the scale-up of life-saving assistance in Rmeich and other southern border villages—delivering critical support to families.

@CarlSkau According to WFP’s analysis, countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia are the most vulnerable. Sudan, for example, imports around 80% of its wheat – a higher price for this staple will push more families into hunger. ow.ly/RZFP50YviVm

🆕The number of people facing acute levels of hunger could reach record numbers if the escalation in the Middle East continues. A new analysis warns that vulnerable families managing to put some food on the table today may soon find they are only able to afford little or none.

WFP in #Afghanistan is rapidly responding as conflict along the border with Pakistan displaces thousands. We’re delivering emergency food to over 20K families. Crisis upon crisis is pushing millions deeper into hunger. Read more👇 Press release: wfp.org/news/wfp-deliv…

A WFP-led humanitarian convoy reached #Tyre today carrying food assistance and essential relief supplies for families affected by the escalating conflict. @WFP and our local and humanitarian partners remain on the ground scaling up assistance to respond to growing needs across #Lebanon.

Food is a lifeline for families caught up in conflict. Across the region and beyond, WFP is scaling up to support thousands of families affected by the conflict in the Middle East. ow.ly/hwW950YuKeG

As conflict continues and supply chains tighten, keeping food moving becomes harder and more expensive. Despite these challenges, WFP is scaling up emergency operations to support families in #Lebanon, #Gaza, #Afghanistan and beyond. Help WFP continue this vital work.

Conflict doesn't only disrupt commercial trade, it also impacts the delivery of humanitarian aid. Delays matter most in places where hunger is already severe. War‑risk insurance premiums have surged and WFP is facing freight rates 15-20% higher, increasing operational costs.

🔴 Middle East crisis. With global shipping routes disrupted, humanitarian supply chains must adapt fast. @WFP shipping team is working nonstop to keep food moving despite port closures, blocked routes and rising costs. Every delayed ship means families go without food.

📍#Haiti: Hunger has reached record levels, as families face continued violence and economic turmoil. WFP logistics hubs enable humanitarian partners to deliver life‑saving support to people when they need it most. WFP’s @lenasavelli1 explains ⤵️

🔴 In Beirut, #Lebanon, the humanitarian fallout of the regional escalation is unfolding at scale. Around 800,000 people have been forced to flee their homes. WFP’s @CarlSkau shares what's visible on the ground: solidarity in action. Communities and WFP teams are responding at a time when support is needed most.

As #Sudan nears three years of war, families continue to arrive at sites like this one after being displaced again and again. WFP is reaching 4 million people every month, but the needs are still immense. WFP's Emergency Director Ross Smith explains⬇️
