We are deeply saddened by the reports of attacks in a camp for displaced people near Goma, eastern DR Congo. Conflict is affecting the lives of innocent families and there is an urgent call for an end to this violence.

📍More and more people are arriving in already overcrowded camps in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. As humanitarian funding fails to keep pace with the crisis, WFP is struggling to provide assistance to all those in need. #DRC

Our staff are not safe. There is starvation. We cannot distribute the aid we have. Today, from inside #Gaza, WFP's Deputy Executive Director @CarlSkau describes what he witnessed on the ground. We need a humanitarian ceasefire.

We are only weeks away from the harsh Afghan winter that will cut off entire communities behind mounds of snow and ice. $400 million is what it takes to preposition food and help families in #Afghanistan survive another winter.

We have lost contact with our teams in #Gaza. The silence is deafening. As conflict rages on, I am extremely worried for the safety of all humanitarian workers and civilians. We are at a tipping point. Humanity must prevail.
