Strong responses are built when partners, governments, and communities work together.
Thank you @DrTedros for your presence and commitment.
@WFP continues to support the frontline health response and work with communities so no one has to choose between health and hunger.
I know how committed @WHO is to supporting the #Ebola outbreak response in #DRC. But the entire @UN system is equally committed.
Take our sister agency @WFP, who I call “The Wings of the Response,” thanks to their UNHAS flights that bring experts and humanitarians to the field.
In Bunia, capital of Ituri Province, I have also seen how WFP is implementing local solutions to access to nutritious food, helping local restaurants provide local food to the local communities.
Thank you WFP for all you do.

⚠️Three months after warning that the Middle East crisis could push millions more people into hunger, new analysis shows that the fallout is already having deep and long-lasting effects.
Vulnerable families far from the center of the crisis are being hit the hardest.

Great meeting with H.E. Eng. @AlfadleyA. We focused on private sector partnerships, sustainable solutions, and scaling @MEWA_KSA’s innovations to tackle food insecurity in Gaza, Syria, Sudan and Yemen. Looking forward to continue this important partnership.

People facing #Ebola in #DRC have endured years of conflict, displacement and hunger. They know what is needed. Outbreaks are stopped when they lead.
To support, @WFP is working with partners to move health workers, supplies and food fast. Speed and solidarity can end an outbreak

The Ebola outbreak in #DRCongo has quickly spread from four to 25 health zones.
@WFP_UNHAS is supporting the response:
✈️ 90 flights so far
👥 680 frontline responders transported
📦 ~10 metric tons of critical supplies delivered
This frontline support is essential to contain the outbreak.

Great discussions at the @WorldBankGroup #FragilityForum.
I joined @DMiliband and @bjerde_anna to discuss the impact of stronger partnerships in times of crisis. With our local partners, we reach people further and faster, and ensure our support lasts longer than our presence.

🚨 Burhakaba, #Somalia is on the brink of catastrophe.
Nearly 40% of children under five are acutely malnourished.
Across Somalia, 6 million people face crisis hunger — but funding gaps mean WFP can reach only 1 in 10.

🆘 Akobo is one of four counties in #SouthSudan at risk of famine.
WFP has reached more than 60,000 people over the last three weeks with critical food and nutrition assistance. ⚠️ Sustained access and an end to fighting is urgent to reach all those in need. ow.ly/rXmS50Z6vGx

Carl Skau assumes the role of Acting Executive Director of WFP.
As he leads the organization through this transition, Skau will continue to advocate on behalf of the most vulnerable at a time when humanitarian needs are surging, crises are multiplying, and the resources to respond have fallen short.

🧵Today marks my last day at @WFP—and the end of one of the most pivotal chapters of my life.
In three years, we raised $25B to save and change millions of lives. From conflicts to climate shocks, the forces driving hunger have never been more relentless.
And yet, we delivered:
