📍In eastern #DRCongo, WFP is moving frontline teams and essential cargo for the Ebola response — reaching hard‑to‑access areas and keeping operations running. Hear more from WFP's Marcel ⤵️

Aid workers. Supply routes. Warehouses. Food deliveries. These are lifelines — not targets. #NotATarget

✈️ What is an airlift? It’s how relief reaches people when roads are impassable. In South Sudan, where roads can vanish for months, WFP aviation delivers food, water and medicine at scale - 13,000+ tons delivered and 9,400 tons airdropped in 2025.

📍 #Lebanon: A school in Beirut is now sheltering 250+ displaced people. What began as a displacement crisis is becoming a food security crisis. WFP & partners are providing meals, food & cash — but needs are rising fast👇

⚠️ #Haiti: A new wave of violence has displaced around 30,000 people in the capital - families are fleeing with little and seeking refuge. WFP is providing emergency food rations to new arrivals, many of them mothers, children and the elderly — but urgent funding is needed to scale up assistance.

The latest data shows what WFP teams see every day on the ground: Extreme hunger in #Sudan is not only widespread, it is deepening as the conflict persists. WFP's Ross Smith explains more ⤵️

Humanitarian supply chains are lifelines. From the frontlines of crises to the most remote communities, WFP moves fast to deliver food, cash and relief where it matters most. This is what the world’s largest humanitarian supply chain looks like. 🔗 http://wfp.org/supply-chain

Higher oil and energy prices, combined with disrupted shipping routes, are raising costs across the entire food system — and increasing the risk of rising hunger in 2026. The true cost of this conflict will land far from the frontlines — on the dinner tables of families who can least afford it.

In besieged areas across #Sudan, every WFP truck is a sign of hope. 📦🥣 Saleh, a father from Kadugli, describes what it means when aid arrives: lives saved. 🆘 As the brutal conflict continues, and without immediate additional funding, millions are at risk of being left without vital food assistance.

In #Gaza, there is hope - but the food security situation remains fragile.   WFP's Carl Skau explains why life-saving assistance must continue at scale — at the same time as supporting people's livelihoods, nutritious diets, and their path toward self-sufficiency.

Last year, amid surging needs and despite access constraints, WFP teams pulled communities back from the brink, acted faster, and smarter. Together with governments and partners, we can do it again. 🤝 Join us. https://www.wfp.org/

📣 The world cannot turn the page on #Gaza. 77% of the population still faces crisis-level hunger and humanitarian aid remains critical for survival. WFP has scaled up life-saving operations, but more must be done to ensure families can move from survival to recovery.

Humanitarian aid has been a stabilizing force across West and Central Africa - helping families cope with conflict and shocks through school meals, nutrition and livelihoods support. Now those gains are at risk. WFP’s Head of Analysis breaks down what the data shows ⤵️

⚠️ #Ethiopia: the refugee response is at breaking point. Over 1.1 million people risk losing food, water and healthcare within weeks as funding dries up. ⤵️

📍#Burundi is receiving thousands of refugees fleeing renewed violence in eastern DRC. WFP has reached over 70,000 new arrivals so far, nearly doubling the number of refugees supported with WFP assistance. Without urgent funding, January could mean deeper cuts - or no aid at all.

In 2025, WFP’s famine prevention efforts pulled several communities back from the brink of starvation. Yet as we ring in the new year, 318 million people face acute hunger in 2026. This is a call to action. Ending hunger isn’t a dream — it’s a responsibility. 🌱🤝
