Fighting along Yemen’s western coast is forcing thousands of families to flee their homes, in a country where hunger was already worsening.   More than 18 million people across Yemen face acute food insecurity. Now, an estimated 125,000 more people have been displaced in a matter of days, leaving many without reliable access to food, clean water and basic services.   WFP has already delivered emergency food assistance to 45,000 people and is preparing to scale up support if the crisis deepens. At the same time, clashes have disrupted humanitarian operations, affected WFP offices and facilities, and left dozens of food distribution points inaccessible.   Families are also crossing into Djibouti in search of safety. WFP is supporting the response with food, drinking water, logistics services and expanded storage capacity to help ensure assistance reaches those who need it most.   Humanitarian access and the safety of aid workers must be protected. Without safe access and timely support, vulnerable families risk being cut off from life-saving assistance.

The world's biggest challenges are on the agenda at #UNGA81. Our message? Food security is the foundation of stability. No nation can thrive if its people are hungry.

Ending hunger means seeing the whole picture. When disaster strikes, WFP is there with life-saving food assistance; but that's only part of the story. Every day, WFP also: 🔹Delivers school meals that help children learn, stay healthy and build brighter futures. 🔹Prevents and treats malnutrition, especially among young children and pregnant and breastfeeding women. 🔹Helps communities strengthen their resilience to conflict, climate shocks and other crises through early action and sustainable livelihoods. 🔹Supports people not just to survive today's emergency, but to recover and prepare for tomorrow. As hunger continues to rise around the world, the need for both emergency response and long-term solutions has never been greater.

As El Niño unfolds, droughts, floods and other extreme weather events can disrupt growing seasons, affect crops and livestock, and put pressure on livelihoods. These impacts can create a chain reaction: lower incomes, higher food prices and increased food insecurity. But we don't have to wait for a crisis to happen to start acting. Many El Niño-related risks can be forecast in advance, creating an opportunity to act before impacts worsen. That's why WFP works with governments and partners to help communities prepare for expected shocks before they affect food security and livelihoods. Swipe to learn more ⤵️

When droughts or storms hit, it’s already too late. 🌾 Crops are lost. Livelihoods disappear. And recovery becomes harder, and more expensive. But what if we didn’t wait for a crisis to unfold? What if we acted before disaster strikes? ⏳ That’s Anticipatory Action.

When vegetation return, so do livelihoods. Across some of the Sahel’s toughest landscapes, communities are bringing degraded land back into production. Listen to Abdou’s story and see how land restoration in Niger is strengthening livelihoods and improving food security. Now, at COP17 their work has been recognized by the United Nations as one of the world’s Restoration Flagships highlighting the power of restoring degraded land to build more resilient communities and food systems.
