World Food Day is a reminder of what we believe: no family, no child, should go to bed with an empty stomach. There is enough food, resources and tools in the world to end hunger. Join us in turning solutions into action.
This #WorldFoodDay, let’s turn solutions into action. The solutions to get ahead of hunger already exist. With innovation, partnerships and resources, we can reach people faster and help communities prepare for the shocks ahead. Hear from Acting @WFPChief @CarlSkau 👇

Between visits to Somalia and Yemen, I spoke with @DiWeekend about the global hunger crisis, humanitarian leadership, and how @WFP is leaving no stone unturned to reach as many people as possible. Read it here: di.se/nyheter/svenska-chefen…

Muchas gracias, Secretario @r_velascoa, por una excelente conversación. México es un socio clave para el @WFP y ejerce una influencia importante en los sistemas alimentarios y en las cadenas de suministro de alimentos a nivel mundial. Esperamos fortalecer nuestra colaboración.
Este lunes, el secretario Roberto Velasco (@r_velascoa) recibió en la @SRE_mx a Carl Skau (@CarlSkau), director ejecutivo interino del Programa Mundial de Alimentos (@WFP), quien realiza una visita de trabajo a nuestro país. El secretario Velasco refrendó el compromiso de nuestro país por seguir colaborando con el WFP para garantizar la seguridad alimentaria de los pueblos del mundo. El director ejecutivo interino Skau participó en un conversatorio esta tarde en el @imatiasromero con el tema “Hambre, conflicto y diplomacia. Lecciones desde la primera línea de las crisis humanitarias”. 🇲🇽🇺🇳

Excelente conversación con jóvenes diplomáticos del @imatiasromero 🇲🇽. Hablamos sobre crisis humanitarias y conflictos, pero yo aprendí mucho de ellos: su curiosidad, su compromiso con el servicio público y su disposición para tender puentes. El futuro está en buenas manos🤝
Agradecemos a @CarlSkau, Director Ejecutivo Interino del @WFP y al Subsecretario Enrique Ochoa por su participación en el conversatorio “Hambre, conflicto y diplomacia: lecciones desde la primera línea de las crisis humanitarias”, que se llevó a cabo esta mañana en el IMR.

Among friends, partners, and those who don't always agree. In #UNGA hallways, on podiums, on and off camera - same message: @WFP is on the ground delivering everyday, but we need diplomacy, tools, and resources before global hunger takes more lives and fuels global instability.

🔴 Global hunger is at record levels. Conflict, maritime trade disruptions and extreme weather are driving hunger worldwide, while funding and humanitarian access remain under pressure. At #UNGA, Acting @WFPChief @CarlSkau is bringing a clear message: we need more support, more access and more political will to save lives👇

Me reuní con el Director @CarlSkau @WFP quien visitará México la próxima semana. Conversamos sobre cómo fortalecer la alianza estratégica entre México y el PMA. Abordamos la crítica situación alimentaria por la que atraviesan algunas comunidades en Afganistán, Haití, Somalia, Sudán, Sudán del Sur y Yemen, entre otras. 🤝por un mundo sin hambre

“Severe malnutrition should be prevented whenever possible [...] and life-saving treatment should be the exception, not the norm.” At the @UNICEF #UNGA81 side event, cosponsored by GNAFC, @WFP @CarlSkau spoke on the realities of nutrition crises & the need to prevent them.

Nothing like the opening of the @UN General Assembly, with all leaders - allies and adversaries - gathered. Magic. SG @antonioguterres leaves us with a strong reminder "The greatest power is the power to build a future that works for everyone." Always a privilege to be here.

Great to be in #Oman today, speaking to @OmanMFA's Diplomatic Academy about what diplomacy can still do for people caught in this region's crises. Oman is the region's bridge, a leading example of quiet diplomacy that can open doors and help humanitarians reach people safely.

From the heart of Darfur, my interview with World Food Programme Executive Director Carl Skau. Skau says the reality on the ground is even bleaker than the reports suggest, while funding shortages are threatening the ability of humanitarian organizations to respond. Sudan needs food and education not more weapons and war. @WFPChief @CarlSkau @WFP @WFP_Sudan @WFP_AR #Sudan #Darfur

El Fasher. Daunting. Once a city of one million people, now few tens of thousands. Siege, famine, unspeakable atrocities. Now, some return to nothing. Took us 3 days to reach, access is difficult but @WFP is here. More resources needed to provide the minimum these people deserve.

In El-Obeid I saw fear, loss & desperation. Once a thriving city, now home to displacement camps lacking shelter, food & water, and risk of more fighting. Sudan's war is spreading, millions risk losing access to aid. Urgent action and resources needed. My interview with @CNN
