The World Food Programme is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide.
In emergencies, we get food to where it is needed, saving the lives of victims of war, civil conflict and natural disasters. After the cause of an emergency has passed, we use food to help communities rebuild their shattered lives.

All WFP food stocks are depleted, which forced the closure of all WFP-supported bakeries, and cut off bread access for 800,000 people. Food parcels are fully exhausted, and the last remaining supplies have been delivered to hot meal kitchens, which are expected to run out within days.

Press Release

WFP reached 4 million people in March, the highest number since the start of the conflict. Of this, 1.6 million people were in Famine and Risk of Famine areas, another record high number of people reached since the conflict started in April 2023.
