Just remember that it took 3.5 trillion dollars and 20 years to replace the Taliban with the Taliban. Let that sink in.. theguardian.com/world/2026/m…
Fab to see @WFP_Afghanistan team helping the Gaza response.
📍 Al Arish, #Egypt
These inflatable cold rooms are supporting the emergency response in #Gaza, allowing organisations to safely store temperature-sensitive items such as medicine and vaccines.

2023 has officially been confirmed as the warmest year on record, by a huge margin.
The record heat has been accompanied by huge socioeconomic impacts.

This holiday season, say it louder. Nobody should be forced to be apart from their family.

Please read this, by @RHarrabin, on the vast unknowns involved in climate breakdown. In short, we have very little idea of just how bad things could get, but urgently need to do what it takes to avoid finding out the hard way. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
I am sure we will see much more nocturnal farming around the world as temperatures rise. Even if the plants and animals can survive the heat, the impact on workers (especially women) will be immense.

For the second time this year, WFP was forced to reduce its food assistance for #Rohingya refugees living in Cox's Bazar's, Bangladesh, due to lack of funds.
We are urgently appealing for $56 million to restore this lifeline.

#Myanmar unfortunately has joined likes of Sudan & Ethiopia where it's expected to face "critical acute food insecurity" in 2nd half of 2023 says @WFPAsiaPacific. This due to increased #coup conflict intensity, extreme constraints to #humanitarian access #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar
The world is witnessing an alarming rise in hunger.
Time is running out – and the stakes have never been higher. We need urgent action to save lives, empower communities to adapt to climate extremes & avert famine now.

Today marks 10 days since #CycloneMocha shattered the coasts of Myanmar & Bangladesh.
WFP continues to scale up its response and has provided emergency food assistance to 87,000 people in Myanmar's Rakhine State.
More funding is urgently needed.
