Scenes from WFP Ethiopia food distributions in #Amhara . This week we expect to complete our first round of food distributions for families impacted by conflict, reaching more than 210,000 people in need.

This week at #UNGA my message was simple:

Our world has never been more threatened or divided. But I have hope.

These are problems we have created, and problems we can solve.

Humanity has shown that we are capable of great things when we join forces.

Let's get to work.

Hello NYC and Global Citizens! Global Citizen ⭕

Thanks for joining us in defending the planet and defeating poverty. Together, let's unite to keep the promise of the #SDGs .

Earlier today, a charter flight ✈ from World Health Organization (WHO)’s logistics hub in #Dubai landed in #Addis carrying 85 metric tons of life-saving medical supplies incl. essential, trauma & surgical medicines, infusions, consumables equipment, cholera kits & supplies – enough for over 150K people.

What I am most proud of and happy to see, regardless of which Party people support, is that ZAMBIANS decided to GENTLY take back their government and hand it to another custodian. We are certain they will deliver. Let's adopt a different work ethic & reinstate #UMUNTHU #UBUNTU

Eid Mubarak!

As people around the world celebrate #EidAlAdha , each of us can draw encouragement from the values of solidarity, empathy and compassion that are inspired by Eid.

On Sunday's #MandelaDay & every day, Nelson Mandela's words inspire us to 'ensure that democracy, peace & prosperity prevail everywhere.' un.org/en/events/mand…

And we're rolling! 🚚🚚🚚🚚

A World Food Programme convoy of 50 trucks is on its way to #Tigray bringing 900 metric tons of life-saving food & fuel, nutrition, health, WASH & shelter items on behalf of humanitarian community.

Long journey ahead but World Food ProgrammeLogistics is working non-stop to deliver.

Listening to this made me so upset and disappointed 😢 in Western countries who think they are safe while Africa suffers without vaccines! What happened to #VaccineEquity 🤷🏽‍♀️ The Tragedy of THIS! You are not safe UNTIL we are all SAFE!
