Great to see @antonioguterres in NY and discuss how @WFP is driving efficiencies across the humanitarian system. We’re ready to do even more to leverage our global logistics capacity and supply chain networks with @UN partners to reduce costs & save more lives.

Barely two weeks into 2026, the world is already confronting the risk of a dangerous and deepening global hunger crisis. I'm calling on world leaders to help us end these horrific conflicts that drive hunger and desperation. ➡️News Release: https://t.co/lUoHU6dmvp

WFP Statement | #Sudan The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) strongly condemns an attack on one of its trucks near the town of Hamra El Sheikh in North Darfur, Sudan last night. The truck was part of a larger convoy of 39 trucks on route with vital food assistance to

El Fasher is enduring devastating violence. Families are running for their lives, hungry and exhausted. These brutal attacks must end. Now. @WFP must be allowed to operate with full independence and neutrality — and stand with the people of Sudan in their time of immense need.

In 2025, no one should ever go to bed hungry. Yet hunger is soaring around the world, while @WFP cuts food rations because the funding simply isn't there. On #WorldFoodDay, let's commit to taking bold action to stop starvation and invest in solutions that end hunger for good.

Totally unacceptable. A targeted drone strike hit two @WFP trucks in #Ukraine. No one was hurt, but the trucks—and the life-saving aid they were delivering—went up in flames. Humanitarian workers, vehicles and cargo are #NotATarget. Anytime, anywhere.
Today, humanitarian workers — including from @OCHA_Ukraine, @WFPUkraine & @WHOUkraine — came under attack in #Kherson Region, while delivering aid to civilians. @matzschmale again urged respect for international humanitarian law: humanitarian workers and assets are #NotATarget.

#Gaza ceasefire: WFP is ready to scale up aid & reach hungry families across the Strip. With safe and sustained access, we can reach 1.6M people in 3 months with bread, wheat flour & food parcels. More than 100k bundles of fresh bread are already being distributed daily.

I join the @UN Secretary-General’s call for an immediate ceasefire in #Gaza. Unrestricted humanitarian access is urgently needed to deliver life-saving food & assistance. @WFP is on the ground and ready to scale up operations, but we need to move NOW—there is no time to waste.
I welcome the announcement of an agreement to secure a ceasefire & hostage release in Gaza, based on the proposal put forward by @POTUS. I commend the diplomatic efforts of the United States, Qatar, Egypt & Türkiye in brokering this desperately needed breakthrough. I urge all

We are outraged by the brutal killing and wounding of an @MSF team in #Gaza, who were attacked while on their way to help others in great need. This is indefensible. Violence against aid workers MUST end. Humanitarians are #NotATarget.
This morning, an attack carried out by Israeli forces killed Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) staff member, Omar Hayek, and seriously injured four others. The attack took place on a street where our teams were waiting to take a bus to the MSF field hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza.

2.3M people are facing severe hunger in eastern DRC and need food now. @WFP is reaching 734K of the most vulnerable—but we urgently need more funding to scale up. Important meeting with President Tshisekedi to ensure continued access & greater partnership with the government.
Ce jeudi 25 septembre à New-York, le Président de la République Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo a accordé une audience à une délégation du Programme Alimentaire Mondial ( PAM) conduite par sa directrice générale Mme MacCain . L’entretien a porté sur l’intervention d'urgence

Funding cuts and access constraints are fueling starvation worldwide. With a global hunger crisis—including two famines—the world must step up, not back. Thanks for the conversation, @FiringLineShow @MargaretHoover #UNGA80

No one should ever starve. Not in Gaza. Not in Sudan. Not anywhere. Important discussion with Minister @MANAlMisned on what more can be done to reach the most vulnerable. @WFP looks forward to Qatar's continued leadership and humanitarian diplomacy. #UNGA80

From growing humanitarian needs to severe access constraints, @hadjalahbib and I discussed @WFP’s most complex and critical operations. We are grateful to be able to count on the EU to keep vital lifesaving aid flowing. Thank you, @eu_echo for your crucial partnership.

Humanitarian access and protection of aid workers is absolutely critical, especially in Gaza. I thanked His Majesty King Abdullah II for Jordan’s partnership — a lifeline for @WFP’s operations in Gaza. A ceasefire is essential to reach families in dire need.
In New York, His Majesty King Abdullah II, accompanied by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein, meets with World Food Programme Executive Director Cindy McCainto discuss ways to enhance cooperation between #Jordan and the UN agency
