How can a crisis in Yemen affect food prices somewhere else in the world? When key trade routes are disrupted, transport costs can rise and the movement of food and humanitarian supplies can be affected. Abeer Etefa explains how the ripple effects can travel far beyond Yemen ⬆️

🚨Due to funding shortages, WFP is forced to reduce food assistance in Gaza by around one-third, meaning half a million people will lose access to critical aid. The cuts come as winter approaches and the recent modest improvements in food security remain fragile. From this month, we are supporting…

This #WorldFoodDay, see how WFP uses innovative digital tools to strengthen supply chains and deliver food assistance faster and more efficiently 👆

800,000 people in #Yemen are now out of WFP’s reach. Conflict and blocked roads are cutting off humanitarian access as food supplies run low in some of the hardest-hit areas. WFP is ready to respond wherever access allows, but safe access and urgent funding are needed to reach people facing hunger.

As malnutrition worsens in #Afghanistan, WFP is ready to respond, but we need more support to keep reaching families. WFP’s Ross Smith explains 👆

No road? No problem. WFP finds another way. These amphibious vehicles carry food and relief supplies through water, mud and wetlands, helping WFP reach communities when conventional vehicles can’t.

174,000 students, 554 schools, one supply chain. WFP is sourcing, transporting and delivering food grown in #Kenya to schools across the country's northern counties.

#Yemen: As conflict escalates, hunger is growing. WFP is ready to expand food assistance, but safe access is essential to reach people in high-risk areas.

Conflict in western #Yemen has displaced tens of thousands of people, with families fleeing towards Aden and other areas. WFP is providing emergency food assistance to displaced families, including Mohammed and his family, and has already reached more than 70,000 people across Ta'iz and Lahj.

In #Yemen, escalating conflict is forcing families like Hassan’s to flee with little more than they can carry. WFP is delivering emergency food assistance, but needs are immense. Urgent funding and safe, sustained humanitarian access are critical to reach families in need.

📍 #Yemen: WFP is scaling up its emergency response, so far reaching over 50,000 newly displaced people in Aden. More support is urgently needed as fighting forces thousands of families from their homes.

For the first time since March, WFP food assistance reached families in northern #Gaza, where over 1 million people are sheltering. 🚨 The window to push back starvation is closing quickly. Families need food NOW.

Once home to 16,000 people, Dvorichanske in Ukraine's Kharkiv region now has fewer than 400 residents. Shelling at the frontline is only 7km away.
