Thanks to @OCHAFunds through #UNCERF for its generous US$1.4 million contribution to WFP Somalia’s drought response. This critical support will provide life-saving cash assistance to 32,268 people facing severe food insecurity in the Bay Region.

The failed rainy season in #Uganda has left over 600,000 people food insecure in the Karamoja region alone.
WFP-supported assistance, delivered before the drought peaked, has helped families buy food and cushion themselves against the worst impacts.
As #ElNino now worsens conditions, teams are scaling assistance to help families cope.

Thank you for all that you do.

📍#SouthSudan | What happens when food assistance stops?
Families skip meals. Children leave school. Productive assets are sold. Women & children face greater risks of exploitation and abuse.

❝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.
