In #Afghanistan , millions of women have almost nonexistent opportunities to work and provide for themselves and their families. The shrinking of public spaces has left many dependent on WFP, their last line of support.

For 500 days war has raged in #Sudan . It's led to the first confirmation of famine anywhere in the world since 2017. 📣We're racing against time to help those affected by this crisis. A ceasefire is critical to save lives.

The war in Sudan has received a fraction of the attention given to Gaza and Ukraine. Yet it threatens to be deadlier than either conflict. It is possible to save millions of lives, if the world acts now
