An honour to serve under your leadership during some of the most complex humanitarian crises of our time.
Your courage & unwavering advocacy for those facing hunger & malnutrition strengthened our resolve across the region.
Thanks for your outstanding service to humanity.
🧵Today marks my last day at @WFP—and the end of one of the most pivotal chapters of my life.

Behind every statistic are families fighting to survive.
A powerful reminder of the scale of the crisis unfolding in #Somalia.
Urgent and sustained support is critical to saving lives.

🚨 Burhakaba is on the brink of catastrophe. The risk of famine is real, and it is immediate.
Nearly 40% of children under five are acutely malnourished or worse.
This is a race against time. Act now to avert catastrophe❗

A glimpse of hope from Akobo, South Sudan.
In moments when families are teetering on the edge, the arrival of life-saving food assistance truly means so much.
However, only peace can help communities to fully recover and I reiterate @WFP's call for lasting peace in #SouthSudan.

In Jonglei, South Sudan, people driven from their homes by violence are facing rising hunger.
I’ve allocated $12M from CERF, the UN’s Emergency Fund, to help humanitarians reach 200,000 people at greatest risk with lifesaving food, health care and protection from violence.

What is unfolding in #Somalia is a stark reminder that without urgent support, millions risk sliding deeper into hunger.
Humanitarian action cannot wait. We need global solidarity and urgent funding now to help save lives and protect livelihoods.

Somalia faces a devastating hunger crisis, driven by drought, funding cuts and the ripple effects of the Middle East crisis.
Urgent humanitarian funding is needed now to prevent catastrophe.
