Risk your life to buy food at the market or go hungry. Millions face this reality in #Haiti as gang violence worsens food insecurity. Thx @Nightline & @MattRiversABC for drawing attn to these devastating conditions and to what @WFP is doing to help. 🎥➡️abcn.ws/3PTznh1
#WorldOceanDay 🌊 Let's reflect on those whose lives hinge on the ocean for survival. WFP stands by conflict-affected communities in #Mozambique, helping them to restore their livelihoods. Many have sought refuge at sea, and now they're rebuilding their lives thanks to the ocean.
As Haiti reels from yet another natural disaster—a 4.9 magnitude earthquake and a wave of torrential rains, the @WFP’s country director tells me “Haiti is a forgotten crisis” #Haiti

Heartfelt thanks to the @USGLC for bringing your esteemed delegation to see first-hand the plight in #Kenya of #Refugees and neighbouring host communities. Thanks for the continued collaboration @UNHCR_Kenya @RESCUEorg @TurkanaCountyKE and Gov't of Kenya, to enable this work.
Today, we hosted a visit from 🇺🇸 delegation to Kakuma & Kalobeyei with our partner @WFP_Kenya. 🙏🏾 🇺🇸 team for witnessing our life-saving work with refugees and host communities, & for your continued support in protecting and assisting those who have fled their homes. 💙
NEW: @DavidMuir and his team traveled to South Sudan to report on yet another front line of the climate crisis, with more than 1 million people now facing severe food insecurity due to the worst floods here since the 1960s, according to the U.N. trib.al/8EJRTiM

Feeding people = feeding peace! Anything is possible if @WFP has the resources we need to reach the millions hungry all over the world. We're in the business of providing hope. Tune in for more this Sunday on @CBSSunday.
First interview done and dusted. I spoke with @LucyHockingsBBC about the immense humanitarian needs, and the historic levels of hunger all over the world – from #Afghanistan to #Somalia & beyond. Stayed tuned!
WFP welcomes our new @WFPChief today. Executive Director McCain joins WFP as the world confronts an unparalleled crisis.
New photo, new beginnings. Proud to begin my first day as @WFP Executive Director. Look forward to working alongside our team of 23,500 humanitarians to end hunger & renew hope in 120+ countries around the world!
Where did 6 years go? A fantastic send-off for @WFPChief here at @WFP in Rome. Thank you, @dbeasley1 for everything you’ve done to raise awareness and $$, inc. every selfie video, hard-hitting soundbite & quippy tweet. Here’s to helping us UN folk to speak a little less ‘UN’!
Six years ago, I could have never dreamt of leading a team as remarkable as this. Thank you to the @WFP family for giving the fight against hunger everything you had, and for giving me the ride of my life! I love you all.
Just spent a few days in DC briefing the US Government & @WorldBank about the deteriorating situation in #EasternAfrica. We may have been able to keep #famine at bay, but without more funding, more people will go hungry by the day.
A special evening in DC tonight, as the House and Senate Hunger Caucuses honor outgoing @WFPChief David Beasley for his @UN service. He is here with former Ambassador Tony Hall (L) – a pillar of the global anti-hunger movement – and incoming @WFP executive director @CindyMcCain.
"A drop in donor funding could push parts of Afghanistan into famine this year," Hsiao-Wei Lee, @WFP_Afghanistan Country Director, tells @Reuters. US$ 800 million are urgently needed to help Afghans cope over the next six months. reuters.com/world/asia-pac…
