WFP has supported more than 1 million people in greater Khartoum — a city devastated by war. Hunger has soared, and the needs remain staggering. We’re doing all we can to expand assistance across #Sudan. But without more resources, we can’t reach everyone.

Yesterday, under enormous challenges, our teams reached northern #Gaza with wheat flour for the first time since the blockade began. People were thanking us. But one delivery is not enough. We need to get there every day. Let us do our job.

.@UNHAS planes and helicopters deliver lifesaving aid when no one else can—no matter where, no matter what. But without new funds, this vital service that keeps the entire humanitarian system moving will be grounded. @WFP needs $101m to ensure UNHAS stays in the skies in 2025.

People across #Gaza are at risk of famine. The latest food security analysis is a stark warning: we are in a race against time to prevent catastrophe. Behind the numbers are families — mothers desperately searching for their next meal.

Haiti is gripped by chaos. 5.7M face acute hunger. 1M+ displaced by violence. Thousands are already in famine-like conditions. @WFP is reaching the hardest-hit areas, but without desperately needed global support, Haiti could face a total collapse.
