This has to stop. Attacks on humanitarian assets and workers in Ukraine have been increasing. It is unacceptable. Humanitarians are not a target.

Five days on, families still searching for loved ones. Venezuelan people have shown remarkable strength and solidarity. @WFP started emergency food distributions - but much more needs to be done. Spoke to @CNN about the latest on #Venezuela response.

Venezuelans have our full support. These earthquakes have hit where many were already in need.
@WFP teams are in place. We have the food, logistics, and presence ready to back the government and partners in delivering a full, fast, unified response.
The people of Venezuela need solidarity now.
After the devastating earthquakes, Principals of the #IASC call for rapid access, safe operations, inclusive coordination, support to government and local responders, and flexible funding to scale up lifesaving bit.ly/4f3afAm

The words of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, @Pontifex, speak to a truth WFP sees every day: Hunger reaches far beyond the plate — affecting peace, opportunity and the strength of communities.
That is why the fight against hunger is a responsibility we all share.
Today, @WFP HQs in Rome, His Holiness Pope Leo IV reminded us of why the fight against hunger matters. He took time to have audience with our frontline staff - an acknowledgement of the tremendous work they do to save lives and protect livelihoods - and often in complex context

We are deeply honored to welcome His Holiness Pope Leo XIV to WFP Headquarters in Rome.
His message speaks to the heart of WFP’s mission and acts as a powerful reminder of why the fight against hunger matters. 💙

❝The hungry faces of so many who still suffer invite us to reexamine our lifestyles, our priorities and our way of living in today's world.❞
The words of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV speak to the heart of WFP’s mission to end hunger.
In a world of plenty, hunger is a profound injustice.

Critical new funding from @USForeignAssist will support WFP’s life-saving food and nutrition operations to reach more than 38 million of the most vulnerable across at least 37 countries.
The announcement comes at a moment of unprecedented global need driving hunger to record levels. ow.ly/jQ9R50ZcAPr

WFP is honored that His Holiness Pope Leo XIV has accepted an invitation to visit the organization's Rome headquarters and address the global staff and its Executive Board on 22 June.
His visit will provide a unique opportunity to highlight the global fight against hunger. This is an issue which Pope Leo has often spoken out on, and WFP’s role as the leading humanitarian agency saving lives in emergencies and using food assistance to build a pathway to peace, stability and prosperity.

🆕The number of people facing acute levels of hunger could reach record numbers if the escalation in the Middle East continues.
A new analysis warns that vulnerable families managing to put some food on the table today may soon find they are only able to afford little or none.

🔴 In Beirut, #Lebanon, the humanitarian fallout of the regional escalation is unfolding at scale. Around 800,000 people have been forced to flee their homes.
WFP’s @CarlSkau shares what's visible on the ground: solidarity in action. Communities and WFP teams are responding at a time when support is needed most.

In the DR Congo, a new escalation of violence in Goma has tragically resulted in the death of one of our UNICEF colleagues.
We, along with UNICEF, extend our deepest condolences to her family, her friends and her colleagues.
Humanitarian personnel must never be a target.

The crisis in the Middle East has displaced 700,000 people in Lebanon alone—in just 10 days.
@WFP is delivering hot meals, food rations & cash to families in nearly 200 shelters across the country.
We urgently need funding to keep critical aid flowing to those most in need.

WFP is mobilizing one of its most complex emergency responses in years, as conflict in the Middle East escalates.
➡️ This is how WFP is ensuring urgently needed food keeps moving despite hugely disrupted supply chains. ow.ly/suw050YqtMm
