's hunger crisis is escalating.

6.7 million people in the East urgently need food. But we only have enough $$ to reach 1.2 million people. Families are being displaced, farms are being destroyed & hunger is spreading.

World Food Programme needs $567m to scale-up emergency relief ASAP.

We have received reports that at least 46 people, including women and children, were tragically killed in an attack on a displacement camp in Ituri, , yesterday.

It is the 25th violation of an IDP site so far this year.

This is horrific and must stop immediately.

The view from UN Humanitarian offices in midtown Manhattan today, as Canadian wildfires cover US skies in smoke.

Another example of how the climate crisis is worsening the frequency, intensity and impacts of extreme weather events.

No one - and no country - is immune.

Thanks Jens Laerke for the press briefing where we shared the real narrative about the humanitarian situation in CAR, including the impact of the Sudan crisis, the Chadian refugees & CAR returnees on local communities. Needs are immense & increasing yet our HRP is only 25% funded

What does it take to deliver humanitarian assistance to remote areas in CAR & provide services to displaced people?

The videos & picture below give a small taste of that. This is even before the rainy season starts fully.

Despite these & many other challenges, we don’t stop!

« La situation est très difficile. La réponse humanitaire peut faire une grande différence face à la faim, aux épidémies et aux violences basées sur le genre, mais les besoins sont au-delà de nos capacités actuelles », a ajouté @Sofiegarde.

This is such welcome news!

I was in Djibo in October last year and the situation was absolutely dire.

Things have improved since then when humanitarians were able to fly in aid, and I hope they continue to improve with this commercial road convoy.
