WFP is moving huge volumes of supplies around the world to fight the pandemic. But without substantial funding, this work could come to a halt before the end of July.

A destructive tropical storm is pushing even more people into hunger in El Salvador. Here’s how WFP is helping.

A shipment of rice and lentils has arrived to Laos from the US: the donation will feed kids in Laos once schools reopen in September.

It’s part of a global hub-and-spokes flight system for medical and humanitarian supplies, transporting health workers to the front lines of the pandemic.
With air travel at a standstill, how do frontline responders get the supplies they need? WFP’s new network of logistic hubs will bridge the gap.

Less than 20 percent of people living in low-income countries have access to social protections of any kind, and even fewer have access to food-based safety nets.

Right now, WFP’s primary focus is continuing to fulfill its mission to get lifesaving food to millions of people around the world while protecting the safety and health of its staff.

Have you ever experienced drought? It’s hard to imagine the scenes that have become a part of daily life for the 7.7 million Zimbabweans who are struggling to find enough food.

The locust upsurge affecting East Africa is a graphic and shocking reminder of this region’s vulnerability. Yet as ancient as this scourge is, its scale today is unprecedented in modern times.
