The impact of conflict ripples through our food systems - and families will feel it first.
Roughly 45 million more people could be pushed into acute hunger this year if conflict in the Middle East persists.
Without an adequately funded humanitarian response, it could spell catastrophe for millions already on the edge. ow.ly/OKMj50YvlUI

Kakuma is one example of a broader trend. @WFP's A Lifeline at Risk studies show sharp funding reductions driving similar impacts in Afghanistan, Haiti, Niger, South Sudan & Uganda — from ration cuts to service closures to rising vulnerability.

US and Western aid cuts have left hundreds of thousands of refugees in Kenya’s Kakuma camp facing hunger, disease, and rising violence — a stark sign of how Trump’s policies are rippling through the world’s most vulnerable communities. bloomberg.com/news/features/…
