Great to spend time with our remarkable World Food Programme teams in Jerusalem, #WestBank & #Gaza, who move mountains every day to get food and life-saving assistance to Palestinians in need. Many work in near impossible conditions, risking their lives. Deep respect and gratitude.
Briefed our Executive Board on World Food Programme's work to scale up our response to the worsening #Sudan crisis. We're working around the clock to double our assistance & open new corridors to get food in & across the country. My asks to member states: advocacy, funding & diplomatic efforts.
Sudan’s war has unleashed an unprecedented hunger catastrophe. Half of all Sudanese – 25.6M people – are acutely hungry. Of them, 755k face starvation with millions more on the brink. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification shows that time is running out to prevent famine. We need access & funding. Now.
Every day, World Food Programme team members #ActForHumanity. I am incredibly proud of their dedication to achieving #ZeroHunger. This #WorldHumanitarianDay is also a call to action: Aid workers safety is non-negotiable. Attacks on humanitarian aid workers must end. #NotATarget
In Adre today on the border between Chad and Sudan. United Nations stepping up efforts to avert famine in Darfur following the commitment by Sudan to allow x-border access. While focus is on Darfur, supporting the 1 m refugees and their host communities in Chad also urgent.
Joining Amina J Mohammed and other senior United Nations colleagues on a mission to focus attention to the people of Sudan, their hardship and what we can do more to assist.
Recommend reading The Economist this weekend about why the world must give more attention to #Sudan. Why Sudan’s catastrophic war is the world’s problem economist.com/leaders/2024/0… from The Economist
Getting across is the first important step, now our focus turn to sustaining the pipeline and to delivery. World Food Programme is strengthening its capacity in Darfur to ensure that trucks can reach intended destinations and that distributions are targeted to the most vulnerable.
In #Chad this week I was stunned by the beauty of the landscape. But the rains have been extreme this year and people are struggling with flooding. World Food Programme is assisting affected families with cash or food. More support needed for #climate adaptation.
After 500 days of war in #Sudan, the food security of at least 36 million people across the region has been pushed to the brink. WFP’s Rania Dagash explains the 3 things WFP and humanitarian actors need to halt this hunger crisis in its tracks. ⬇️
