We’re not just responding - we’re building resilience. School meals are helping kids learn, fight malnutrition, and support local farmers. Investing in youth = investing in South Sudan’s future.
The WFP team is assisting the most vulnerable in the hardest-to-reach areas - even with airdrops ✈️ where access via road or river is not possible. But our funding is running short.
Honored to have attended mass in memory of His Holiness Pope Francis. A tireless voice for the poor and hungry. When we met, he gave us a book he'd written & joked "You can read it if you have trouble sleeping". May his compassion, humility and sense of humor continue to inspire

Just returned from South Sudan 🇸🇸 - where humanitarian needs are staggering. Conflict and flooding have uprooted millions and destroyed their livelihoods. Peace and stability are urgent.

✈ @WFP_UNHAS is how we reach people who would otherwise be unreachable. Let’s keep it flying.
There have been many difficult days for our team in Gaza. Today, we reached a new low point. This cannot continue.

#GAZA: "it's worse than I've ever seen before." Starvation is spreading. What we really need is the ceasefire." On Friday, WFP's @CarlSkau, briefed journalists about his latest visit to Gaza. @UN_Spokesperson Listen ⤵️ #Ceasefire
Five members of a @WFP - @UNICEF humanitarian convoy were killed & several more injured in an attack in North Darfur on Monday. I condemn this horrendous act of violence. This was the first @UN humanitarian convoy that was going to make it to El Fasher in more than a year. It's…
A targeted strike hit a joint @WFP @UNICEF convoy in Sudan. 5 convoy team members were killed. Trucks torched. Food for families facing famine in El Fasher—destroyed. This is unconscionable. Humanitarians are #NotATarget. We demand safe, unhindered access NOW.

At the Joint Meeting of the Executive Boards of @UNDP, @UNFPA, @UNOPS, @UNICEF, @UN_Women and @WFP today. Thank you WFP EB President @Elissa_Golberg for leading the dialogue on how to jointly meet the demands and challenges of a rapidly changing world.
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.
I join the world in mourning Pope Francis—a leader who fostered peace, defended humanity, and stood with the world’s most vulnerable. He called hunger a grave injustice and rallied the world to act.@WFP will always be grateful for his enduring support. Thank you, Your Holiness.
@WFP Deputy Executive Director @CarlSkau in #Doha #Qatar warns WFP #food inside #Gaza will completely run out by Monday. WFP and partners have 85,000 metric tons of food waiting outside Gaza, ready to be brought in as soon as border crossings are opened 👇🏼
