In Burhakaba, many families are living at risk of famine. Mothers travel for hours along insecure roads for malnutrition treatment.
Hunger nearly doubled in #Somalia this year - drought, conflict and rising costs, as funding hits historic lows. Somalia needs support, urgently.
- Humanitarians deliver lifesaving support in every crisis, often at great personal risk. Today, on #WorldHumanitarianDay, I thank @WFP teams for showing up, again and again. We must do more to protect aid workers. Protecting them means protecting every community they serve.
- Important discussion with 🇸🇴 Deputy PM @SalahJama on strengthening our partnership on food security. Needs are rising and shocks are multiplying. @WFPSomalia works closely with local authorities to address immediate and long term food needs for the people of Somalia.Received the @WFP Acting Executive Director Carl Skau (@WFPChief) for discussions on Somalia’s partnership with @WFPSomalia, our shared priorities on food security and social protection, preparedness for El Niño-related risks, and durable solutions that strengthen resilience.
- Across Afghanistan, mothers are running out of ways to feed their children. Child malnutrition has reached critical levels. Funding shortfalls are forcing @WFP to scale back support millions depend on. We have the capacity - but without funding, we cannot reach them on time."When they wake up, they cry for food." For Farida, hunger is a daily reality. Hunger and malnutrition continue to threaten families across #Afghanistan. Continued support is critical to save lives across the country.
- Behind every running #Ebola clinic is a supply chain getting help where it's needed. Here is one of many planes loaded in Entebbe, landing in Bunia. @WFP-led @logcluster has moved over 1,000 mt of cargo for humanitarian partners. This is what an integrated response looks like.
