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.

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.

WFP assistance helps displaced families in the West Bank afford the basic food they need each day.
Now, severe funding constraints put that support at risk. WFP’s Shaun Hughes explains what the cuts could mean for families like Aysha’s. ⤵️

Conflict remains the leading driver of acute hunger worldwide.
From Sudan to Palestine, Haiti and Somalia, conflict is destroying food systems, disrupting markets and forcing families from their homes.
🛑 ✋ It's time to break the cycle. We cannot accept hunger as the price of war.

🆘 #SouthSudan: Food and nutrition assistance for hundreds of thousands of refugees could end in September due to funding shortfalls, WFP and @Refugees are warning.
For families already living on the edge, losing this support would mean deeper hunger and greater risks.

🆘 #Afghanistan's child malnutrition crisis is deepening.
Critical levels of child acute malnutrition have now been recorded in 12 provinces - indicating urgent need for life-saving treatment.
Without more support, WFP and its partners will be unable to prevent more children from becoming dangerously malnourished, putting lives at risk in the coming months.
