WFP in Venezuela: Fueling Futures, One School Meal at a Time! 🍎 The School Meals programme is a collaborative effort, involving a wide range of participants from farmers and producers to the entire supply chain, as well as the essential contributions of school staff and ultimately, the children who benefit. 🔵 It's the start of another school year and WFP is delivering to over 1,100 schools across four states, ensuring these young minds get the nourishment they need to thrive. Hear from WFP's Andres Rodriguez 👇

📢 Three weeks into the ceasefire, WFP has reached 1 million people across #Gaza with family food parcels. 🔴 But after two years of war and months of insufficient food supply, families are still struggling to put food on the table. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dPqSWi2R

📦 Behind every box of food delivered in an emergency, there is a story of preparation, precision, and partnership.   At WFP, our supply chain teams work tirelessly to preposition life-saving commodities in strategic warehouses, always ready to move at a moment’s notice when crises strike. This proactive approach ensures that vulnerable communities receive support faster, when it matters most.   🎥 Hear from WFP's Kherunissa Karim about the incredible work happening behind the scenes 👇

#HurricaneMelissa is the strongest storm to hit #Jamaica and one of the two strongest ever recorded in the Atlantic. WFP teams have been out in affected communities, working closely with governments and regional disaster agencies to determine the most urgent food security needs. Hear from WFP's Dana Sacchetti 👇

The United Nations Humanitarian Response Depot (UNHRD) is a global network that procures, stores & deploys emergency supplies for humanitarian operations. In #Panama, over 2,000 pallets of life-saving aid are ready to deploy to Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti. Hear from Francisco José Garrido 👇 #HurricaneMelissa

🔵 WFP has resumed food distributions in Gaza City — and bakeries are reopening once again. This is a vital step for families long cut off from aid. WFP needs regular and safe access through northern crossings to reach everyone facing hunger in the north.

WFP works with governments & communities in the Caribbean and worldwide to prepare for disasters like #HurricaneMelissa. A major hurricane can severely deepen hunger, so protecting vulnerable communities in advance is crucial. 🎦WFP Director of Climate & Resilience explains.⬇️
