When food assistance is cut, families don't stop needing to eat. At Kyangwali refugee settlement in #Uganda, malnutrition among children under 5 has risen nearly 50% in one year. Urgent, flexible and predictable funding is critical to protect lifesaving assistance for refugee families. #UNGA81

🌀 When a hurricane is approaching, every hour matters. In #Barbados, WFP and partners position relief supplies in advance so assistance can move quickly when an emergency strikes. Investing before disaster is smarter and more effective than waiting for needs to escalate. #UNGA

🆘 #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.

World Food Programme @wfp.org · 23/09/2026
No single organization can meet today's humanitarian challenges alone. UN agencies are increasingly planning and delivering supply chains together, reaching more people, faster and more effectively. That's what practical UN80 reform looks like in action. #UNGA81

📣The warning signs are impossible to ignore. Hunger is deepening while lifesaving assistance is being pushed to a breaking point. At #UNGA, leaders must act: end conflict, protect humanitarian access and urgently fund humanitarian assistance. Millions of lives depend on it.

📍#Honduras: Dry land and failing crops are already putting families’ food and incomes at risk. As #ElNiño hits families across Central America, WFP is using climate financing, anticipatory action and cash assistance to help them protect food security - before the crisis deepens.

We don’t need to wait for disaster. In northern #Kenya, forecasts triggered early warnings and cash support for families like Zainab’s - before poor rains deepened hunger. It’s time to make early action the norm wherever crises are predictable. #UNGA81

As #UNGA81 begins, WFP calls on leaders, governments, and businesses to protect food security. ➡️ Advance political solutions to end conflict. ➡️ Step up funding for life-saving aid. ➡️ Mobilize private sector investment, technology, and expertise. ➡️ Invest in early action before crises escalate.

Conflict and hunger go hand in hand. We cannot address food security without addressing the root causes of conflict. And we cannot build peace when millions are hungry. #UNGA81

Conflict and hunger fuel each other. Conflict destroys food systems, drives families from their homes and leaves millions struggling to find enough to eat. As world leaders gather at #UNGA81, WFP will be highlighting a simple truth: we cannot build lasting peace while millions go hungry. 🌍🕊️

Conflicts are disrupting the movement of food, fuel and fertilizer through the Strait of Hormuz, the Red Sea and the Black Sea. Disruptions in any one of these routes can affect global markets. When all three face pressure, tens of millions more people are at risk of hunger. bit.ly/4ysyVZQ
