WFP Africa

When food assistance dries up, #refugees are forced to make impossible choices—skipping meals, pulling children from school, returning to unsafe areas, or taking dangerous work just to survive. No one should have to choose between hunger and safety. #WorldRefugeeDay

✅ 94% recovery. 0% mortality. 300,000+ children reached in #Uganda in 2024. @WFP’s nutrition programmes are helping children recover, grow, and thrive. Behind every number is a child with a second chance.

🔴In #Somalia, late-season rains have displaced families and affected over 84,000 people. Many have been uprooted multiple times this year, trapped in a cycle of extreme weather and hunger. WFP’s Lina explains how @WFPSomalia is responding ⤵️

"WFP’s support takes the pressure off, it complements the little we have." Wivine is one of over 5 million people uprooted by conflict in northeast #DRC. With WFP food assistance and nutrition training, she’s rebuilding her life and learning to cook healthy meals for her family.

''After the training, we can bake on our own, and support others too.'' Mawada learned baking through @WFP-supported training in #Sudan, now she runs her own business and helps others do the same. When young people gain skills, entire communities benefit ⤵️

From 8kg food rations to 1,000kg harvests, Emmanuel’s journey from refugee to self-reliant farmer in #Uganda shows what’s possible when people get the right support. With @WFP’s Self-Reliance Model, refugees can grow food, sell it, & feed their families. bit.ly/44yy2Da

Loading is underway at Manga port📦🚢 After months of river closures due to insecurity, @WFP barges from Bor will soon join boats loaded with cereals in Manga. The flotilla will head to Malakal, delivering food assistance to families cut off by conflict. #SouthSudan

🚨The war in #Sudan has created the world's largest hunger crisis — driven by conflict, not by nature. @WFP_Sudan reached over 5 million people last month with lifesaving food and nutrition support. Our teams are doing whatever it takes to turn the tide of famine.

Despite insecurity in eastern #DRCongo, @WFP delivered 2,000 MT of food to Butembo, Musienene & Lubero, #NordKivu in June. 🚛 Thanks to @WFPSupplyChain, every delivery counts. Urgent funding is needed to keep supply lines moving and reach families in need.

Aziza is one of over 4 million people displaced outside #Sudan by the war. Once a humanitarian worker, she left everything behind to find safety in #Uganda, where @WFP assistance helps her to feed her family. Without urgent support, this lifeline is at risk.
