Since 2021, #Somalia has endured its longest drought, displacing 1M+ people & pushing over a third into #hunger. Latest forecasts show La Niña will worsen drought conditions. Ahead of #COP29, urgent action is critical. What does drought really look like? 👇 #BREAKINGTHECYCLE

Sudan’s hunger crisis is a man-made catastrophe demanding urgent, global action. Millions of people are on the brink of starvation. On @AJEnglish, I urged world leaders to keep Sudan in focus. The Sudanese people––who have lost so much already––are depending on what we do next.

Game-changing financial tools like debt-for-food swaps have the power to transform food systems. It's time to move beyond promises to real solutions that end hunger and build lasting resilience. @WFP urges immediate action from the #G7 to foster long-term stability.

In #Somalia, smallholder farmers like Fartun are the backbone of their communities' #foodsystems. @WFPSomalia supports sustainable, #climatesmart agriculture to help farmers increase yields, boost local economies, and create lasting food security for entire communities.

Global forecasts predict an 80% chance of La Nina conditions, which could lead to drought in Somalia. Thanks to your support, @WFP is enabling communities to better withstand climate shocks. Continued investments in resilience are vital to break the cycle of humanitarian crises.
