In less than six months, the number of people fleeing unrest has nearly quadrupled across four #WestAfrica countries. The #Sahel is at a critical turning point as swelling numbers stretch food and resources in fragile communities. wfp.org/stories/hunger…

#WorldOceanDay 🌊 Let's reflect on those whose lives hinge on the ocean for survival. WFP stands by conflict-affected communities in #Mozambique, helping them to restore their livelihoods. Many have sought refuge at sea, and now they're rebuilding their lives thanks to the ocean.

Where did 6 years go? A fantastic send-off for @WFPChief here at @WFP in Rome. Thank you, @dbeasley1 for everything you’ve done to raise awareness and $$, inc. every selfie video, hard-hitting soundbite & quippy tweet. Here’s to helping us UN folk to speak a little less ‘UN’!

Six years ago, I could have never dreamt of leading a team as remarkable as this. Thank you to the @WFP family for giving the fight against hunger everything you had, and for giving me the ride of my life! I love you all.

Just spent a few days in DC briefing the US Government & @WorldBank about the deteriorating situation in #EasternAfrica. We may have been able to keep #famine at bay, but without more funding, more people will go hungry by the day.
