In places like Kakuma, #Kenya , thousands of #refugees have lived here for years, having left their homes in search of a better life. We must do more to help them build a future.

WFP is committed to working closely with UNHCR East, Horn of Africa and Great Lakes to support them towards self-reliance.

A South Sudanese sister.

A Sudanese brother.

Both were living in Khartoum.

Their lives were interrupted by the conflict.

Both have been displaced several times.

I met them today in Kosti.

They want #peace ; & more support to alleviate some of the many challenges they face.

WFP trucks have recently successfully crossed from Tine, Chad into #Darfur , #Sudan to deliver crucial food assistance.

With the rainy season imminent, roads will soon be impassable. Our teams are racing against time to preposition vital food supplies.

The ongoing conflict in #Sudan is leading to a catastrophe of unimaginable scale. Without a resolution, the long-term impacts on its people will be devastating. World Food Programme is deeply concerned about the future.

I discussed the urgent humanitarian situation on CNN International 👇

The situation in #Sudan is not so much forgotten as it is neglected. It's already the largest displacement crisis in the world, and could become the world’s largest hunger crisis.
But it's not receiving the attention and support to avert a nightmare scenario.

📍 #Sudan : World Food Programme is urgently expanding emergency food and nutrition assistance, amid the looming threat of #famine .

🆘Conditions for civilians are deteriorating and fighting is intensifying in battle zones like El Fasher and Khartoum.

I’m in #Uganda seeing firsthand the influx of refugees fleeing the war in #Sudan . Over 18,000 people have arrived in past 3 months, many having lost everything.

WFP provides hot meals upon arrival but we urgently need the humanitarian community's support to address this crisis.

The year-long war in #Sudan is leaving countless women and children without access to vital food and nutritional support.

🚨Urgent action is needed to protect an entire generation from #malnutrition , disease and death.

Today, @Micdunford met with Joseph, a refugee from #SouthSudan , who invested in poultry 🐓🐣 farming

In #Uganda , we work with the private sector to boost refugees’ businesses and reduce dependence on humanitarian assistance

Great to be back in #Uganda with @WFPUganda, witnessing firsthand the incredible work WFP is doing to support refugees.

📍 In Renk, people fleeing the conflict in #Sudan keep crossing into #SouthSudan , arriving with severe psychological and emotional trauma, along with critical health and nutrition concerns.

Weldon explains how World Food Programme and partners are responding 👇

Thrilled to reunite with World Food Programme country directors across #EasternAfrica !

Our brainstorming sessions were inspiring, as we shared ideas to tackle future challenges. We are determined to make a significant impact in the region.

The flames of war in #Sudan are threatening to engulf El Fasher. Reports of intensifying clashes in the city are deeply alarming.

The people of Darfur need more food, not more fighting. The parties must uphold their obligation to keep civilians safe and immediately de-escalate.

In #Somalia , amidst ongoing rains 🌧️, World Food Programme & SODMA Somalia are sending early warnings messages to help communities prepare for potential floods.

Over 700,000 people are facing risks amid climate and conflict challenges.

See how #AnticipatoryAction can make a difference 👇

In 2023, #EastAfrica faced climate disasters, conflicts, and economic shocks.

Despite these challenges, I'm immensely proud of the resilience and dedication of World Food Programme team and grateful for our partners. Together, we provided vital food assistance to nearly 40 million people.

WFP urgently requires unrestricted access to deliver assistance across the #Darfur region, says WFP's Michael Dunford.

As clashes in #Sudan 's El Fasher intensify and the lean season sets in, people are resorting to consuming grass and peanut shells.

Update on #floods in #EastAfrica :

🔵Currently, World Food Programme aims to support 214,000 people with food and nutrition

🔵Cash grants from WFP enable families in #Somalia to take preemptive action against flooding

🔵Our support to governments includes logistical support

🆘In #Sudan , time is running out to prevent starvation in #Darfur .

🔴World Food Programme urgently requires unrestricted access to deliver assistance to the families struggling for survival amid devastating levels of violence.

Critical: World Food Programme needs unhindered humanitarian access to #Sudan 's conflict zones. Unrestricted entry via Adre border and across frontlines from Port Sudan is essential to reach families in #Darfur amidst escalating violence.
