Food is a universal human experience.
It’s more than nourishment — it fuels peace, health, and prosperity.
But what happens when it disappears from the table?
This #WorldFoodDay, @WFP warns millions could slip into emergency hunger as aid cuts take hold.
In #Namibia’s Kunene Region, a once-dry patch of land now flourishes with life. 🌱

It was a pleasure meeting you, @mamadou_dbalde.
Our strategic partnership is a key catalyst for our country teams’ efforts to support governments in driving sustainable development across Eastern and Southern #Africa.
Looking forward to deeper collaboration. 🌍🤝

From what I’ve witnessed, food security is national security. Where hunger spreads, peace & stability vanish.
In Eastern & Southern #Africa, I’ve seen the crisis deepen—millions at risk.
We cannot wait; urgent global action is needed now.

2.3M people are facing severe hunger in eastern DRC and need food now. @WFP is reaching 734K of the most vulnerable—but we urgently need more funding to scale up.
Important meeting with President Tshisekedi to ensure continued access & greater partnership with the government.
Ce jeudi 25 septembre à New-York, le Président de la République Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo a accordé une audience à une délégation du Programme Alimentaire Mondial ( PAM) conduite par sa directrice générale Mme MacCain .
L’entretien a porté sur l’intervention d'urgence de cette institution onusienne en République Démocratique du Congo (RDC), notamment dans l'Est du pays où il fourni une assistance alimentaire et nutritionnelle vitale à des millions de personnes affectées par la violence, les déplacements et la faim.
Mme McCain a fait part au Chef de l’Etat des difficultés et défis que ses équipes rencontrent sur le terrain et des perspectives pour poursuivre dans les meilleures conditions leurs différentes interventions.

🌱🤝 Ending hunger isn’t a dream—it’s a responsibility.
Because hunger anywhere is a threat to peace everywhere.
It's time for global effort to ensure food security for all.

Here at #UNGA80, history is watching.
For the first time this century, two famines rage at once. 319 million people don’t know when, or if, they’ll eat again. Humanitarian aid is underfunded and under threat.
This is not the time for indifference—too much is at stake.
No one should go hungry - especially in emergencies. 💙
For the past three years, Slovenia 🇸🇮 (@MZEZ_RS) has been a consistent and reliable partner of the #GrainFromUkraine initiative.
This critical support is helping deliver food and hope where it’s needed most. 🌍#ZeroHunger
In #Mozambique, conflict & cyclones are destroying lives.
Through the #GrainFromUkraine initiative, @WFP_Mozambique received over $16M from partners to purchase Ukrainian split peas🫛, maize🌽, and oil—providing vital support to affected families in northern Mozambique.
