Hundreds of humanitarians have been killed in recent years while delivering food, medical supplies, and basic life necessities to people in conflict zones.

Every single one of them is a tragedy.

Brittany and I are praying for this family. Our hearts are broken. #NotaTarget

WFP strongly condemns an aerial attack that hit two contracted trucks carrying WFP food commodities in South Kordofan on Saturday, 3 October 2026.

One driver was killed in the air strike. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

No one can end hunger alone. It takes all of us working together — public, private, and individuals.

💪🏼 👏🏼 Thank you to the private sector leaders who are increasingly stepping up!

👀 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽I’m looking forward to creating more exciting partnership opportunities - stay tuned!

The private sector is one of WFP's most important partners in the fight against hunger.

In 2025 alone, private sector partners contributed more than $315 million to WFP's work, bringing total support since 2020 to over $2 billion.

These partnerships help WFP respond faster, reach farther, and deliver more for vulnerable communities. #UNGA

No one can address the rising levels of acute hunger alone. Partnership and collaboration are essential.

💪🏼Thank you to @unicefchief and @BarhamSalih for meeting with me during #UNGA to discuss how the teams at @UNICEF, @Refugees, and @WFP can better reach communities together.
