On International Civil Aviation Day, a huge thanks to our incredible @WFP_UNHAS team. You fly into some of the world’s toughest, most remote places, where no else can reach. Thank you for delivering life-saving aid & connecting humanitarians to the communities who need them!

Cyclone Ditwah has struck Sri Lanka hard – 1.8M people are reeling from destructive floods and landslides. Together with government and partners, @WFP is scaling up to deliver emergency food & assistance to the hardest-hit families. We are committed to reach those most in need.

Just over one month since #HurricaneMelissa, we've delivered food to 500,000 people. Now we're pivoting: restoring livelihoods and cash assistance where markets work. Real recovery takes time – and @WFP is here for the long haul. Communities are counting on continued support.

Where @WFP has access in #Sudan, food prices drop and people can eat. Where we’re blocked—famine is confirmed. We’re delivering emergency food to 4+ million people each month, but we need safe access and reliable funding to keep people alive. https://t.co/BsvDze29oe

The country's outlook remains dire but WFP's year-long surge of food assistance is delivering results

This is @WFP in November: Fighting famine in #Sudan. Responding to hurricanes and typhoons across the #Caribbean and #Philippines. Delivering life-saving aid for millions. The reality is stark: 2026 is around the corner and hunger is soaring globally—the world needs to step up.

Innovation is a lifeline against hunger. With 318M people projected to face crisis-level hunger in 2026, the world needs faster, smarter solutions. WFP is scaling what works - to save lives today and reduce future humanitarian needs - making every contribution go further.

25 years ago, one hub in Brindisi, Italy, was established with @cooperazione_it. Today, the @WFP-managed #UNHRD spans 5 strategic hubs, helping partners pre-position relief supplies & deliver aid fast when crises strike. ➡️ https://t.co/IFgdkzUHUT Together, we deliver hope💙

Violent extremism is fueling hunger in #Nigeria. @WFP is on the ground responding, but we need emergency funding ASAP — this is about saving lives and preventing regional instability.
🆘Conflict, hunger, and instability are converging in northern #Nigeria. Insurgent attacks and economic stress are pushing food insecurity to record highs: 35 million people across the country could face severe hunger in 2026. WFP is on the ground, but more support is urgent.

After the widespread destruction of #HurricaneMelissa, @WFP is in full swing supporting the Jamaican government’s recovery efforts. Our logisticians, drivers & food monitors deployed to the hardest-hit areas to deliver food assistance to people like Dian Banton in Black River.

Technology & ingenuity are transforming the fight against hunger – helping @WFP reach 60M people in 2024 alone. We've just opened an exhibition at HQ that shows exactly how we're doing this. Here's how our teams are innovating to deliver faster & smarter: https://t.co/QZmqINLVj5

WFP's latest analysis shows 318 million people facing acute hunger - not knowing when, or if, they will eat again. In 2026, WFP is aiming to deliver lifesaving relief, stability and hope to 110 million of the most food-insecure. Every contribution counts.

318 million people are in the grips of a hunger crisis. Famine is raging. @WFP will reach 110M of the most vulnerable – IF we get the funding. The world must step up: this isn't just about hunger. It's about global stability. 🔗Our 2026 Global Outlook: https://t.co/ktTnKfGXdM

I'm calling on all of our partners: help us mobilize humanitarian funding and advocate to protect aid workers, assets, and equipment. @WFP’s men and women need the resources and protection to continue to deliver lifesaving assistance. Millions of lives depend on it.
