🔴 Acute hunger rose for the fourth year in a row, while funding to address needs is dwindling. The latest Global Network Against Food Crises (#GRFC24) Global Report on #FoodCrises, reveals a staggering reality: nearly 282 million people across 59 countries and territories faced high levels of acute hunger in 2023. This represents a significant increase of 24 million from the previous year, driven by a sharp deterioration in food security, especially in the #Gaza Strip and the #Sudan. Children and women bear the brunt of these crises, with over 36 million children under 5 acutely malnourished across 32 countries. Acute malnutrition worsened in 2023, particularly among those displaced by conflict and disasters. Learn where and why conflicts, climate and economic shocks are driving people into extreme levels of food insecurity. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dQua83Bq

🚨 200 days WFP is on the ground, in Rafah, Khan Younis, Deir El Balah, and Gaza City distributing food parcels, hot meals, nutritious supplements and providing 16 bakeries in #Gaza with fuel, wheat flour, and other necessary resources so far. 📣 But this requires safe, sustained, and scaled-up access to ensure food is reaching the people who need it the most. A humanitarian ceasefire is needed!

Despite ongoing unrest in #Haiti, WFP has been scaling up and assisting communities affected by the violence. 🔴 The country is facing its highest levels of food insecurity on record WFP's Carl Skau explains from the ground 👇

Happy #EarthDay! A zero-hunger world starts with environmental sustainability! From our Headquarters to our global operations, WFP is committed to reducing the use of natural resources and giving a new life to waste.
