No. The WFP plan was never intended to end world hunger. It was a one-year emergency package to deliver one basic meal per day (at ~$0.43) to 42 million people already in IPC Phase 4/5 across 43 countries, at a cost of $6.6B, to avert immediate famine risk. Beasley himself clarified it would not solve world hunger. It is operationally feasible for temporary relief given WFP’s existing systems, but does nothing about root drivers like conflict, governance, and chronic poverty that keep hundreds of millions hungry year after year.
