Shock upon shock in #Afghanistan.
Hunger, malnutrition, drought & mass returnees — now earthquakes have killed over 1,400 people & destroyed 5,000 homes.
WFP is on the ground, but funds will run out in weeks. Urgent support is needed to keep assisting the survivors.
🚨 A @WFP convoy carrying vital food & nutrition supplies has crossed the Adre border into #Darfur
These trucks are on the way to Zamzam camp, with urgent aid for desperate families
📢 This convoy *MUST* reach its destination safely to save lives & combat famine‼️
Rural communities in #Tajikistan are heavily dependent on water from rivers and reservoirs.
WFP supports families like Mehrinigor's rehabilitate water supply systems, so they have a reliable, more sustainable, source of clean water for home and land.🚰💙
In #Afghanistan, 3 million children are malnourished, but we can only reach 1/3 of them.
After the assistance cuts last year, we saw a rise in children's admissions to malnutrition clinics.
It is children who bear the brunt of the funding crisis.

The floods in #Afghanistan have swept away lives and livelihoods across multiple provinces.
But these two communities in Nangarhar and Baghlan provinces were protected, saving over 870 families and 670 hectares of land.
The floods we have seen over the last two weeks in #Afghanistan are only the beginning.
The #ClimateCrisis is set to worsen already dire hunger hotspots across the country.

WFP assessment teams are on the ground now to be able to deploy assistance as soon as possible.

🔴Breaking: Flash floods ravage #Afghanistan, killing more than 300 people in Baghlan and destroying more than 1000 houses.
This has been one of many floods over the last few weeks, due to unusually heavy rainfall. WFP is now distributing fortified biscuits to the survivors.
But we can only support 1 in every 3 malnourished children across #Afghanistan.
Children bear the brunt of the assistance cuts. Sustained funding is vital.
In #Afghanistan and around the globe 🌏, @WFP_UNHAS is often the only airline that allows aid workers to work with vulnerable communities in some of the most difficult places on earth.
Here is how 👇
Now imagine nearly 300 trucks on the road every month delivering life-saving food to more than half a million people across #Afghanistan.

For over 60 years, we have been there for the most vulnerable Afghan communities.
With food, cash, assets, and training, WFP helps communities across #Afghanistan achieve self-reliance, ensuring children are fed and futures are secured. ✨
"We put ourselves in debt just to buy some flour"
Millions of families across #Afghanistan share Maryam’s story, resorting to extreme measures just to feed their children.
Solutions to end hunger require immense collaboration, says @WFP Executive Director Cindy McCain.
Together with our development partners, we are scaling up investments to improve food security in Asia and the Pacific.
The funding shortfall, the Herat earthquakes, and the forced return of Afghans from Pakistan were only some of the crises that #Afghanistan faced in 2023.
And yet, WFP reached nearly 19 million people with life-saving assistance.

We don't just need an investigation, we need a change & improvement in humanitarian access across Gaza. For the colleagues we lost, & for over a million people who could die of famine.
I spoke with @AmroliwalaBBC following the tragic loss of @WCKitchen colleagues in Gaza 👇
⚠️In #Afghanistan, we have been seeing the impact of the #ClimateCrisis more than ever before.
This is how WFP irrigation canals and protection walls helped mitigate the impact of the recent flash floods:
