At the Joint Boards meeting, I restated @WFP's commitment to @UN reforms that help us work better together, with greater impact. Member States can back this with more risk-sharing and flexible funding. Our success is only measured by how much we improve lives of people we serve.

My focus as Acting Executive Director for @WFP during the transition is clear: ensuring our teams have what they need to continue reaching people worldwide. Times are uncertain, needs are growing, resources are stretched, but our commitment to deliver is unwavering.

Deeply concerned by the #Ebola resurgence in Eastern DRC - already a severe humanitarian crisis and hunger hotspot. @WFP is helping the Government and @WHO response, moving aid workers and medical supplies to outbreak areas. Speed is key to stop the spread.

#Ebola🇨🇩 “This is not just a health emergency. It’s a crisis of conflict, hunger, and displacement,” says @WFP's David Stevenson. WFP is supporting the Government & @WHO-led response. Through @WFP_UNHAS, 42 health professionals & supplies already deployed. 🎦Hear from our CD👇

This week I've been on @SkyNews, @BBCWorld, @AJEnglish to warn about the perfect storm hitting the world's hungry. Ceaseless conflict, historic food prices, less aid on the way. Spoke with @SkyYaldaHakim about the effects I've seen in Lebanon and Afghanistan - and how to fix it.

The Middle East crisis requires a historic humanitarian response. @WFP is known for its creative can-do attitude, and the Egypt Country Office and the regional team in Cairo are no exceptions! They at the heart of these unprecedented efforts 🙏🏼

Afghanistan faces the worst malnutrition surge on record. 5m children and mothers need treatment. At a clinic by Jalalabad I saw desperate mothers left empty-handed as specialised foods had run out. We must step up. Urgent to get new funds and aid flowing over the Pakistan border

Afghans have been through a lot, but the last few months have been especially tough on them - earthquakes, floods, shockwaves from the Middle East, conflict with Pakistan. @WFP team is doing brilliant work to help the most vulnerable, reach and empower women, and transform lives.

Thanks @carlbildt for a great exchange at @WFP HQ on the crises that keep us up at night, and why food security matters also for stability.

Very much impressed by the important work of @WFP. Was updated by @CarlSkau and his staff on conflicts driving food insecurity - and food insecurity driving conflicts.

The @AntalyaDF once again the place to be. Rare space to connect in a time of global volatility. Sudan and the Middle East crisis, including its wider consequences, were at the center of my discussions. Thank you @MFATurkiye.

We need to step up emergency food assistance to those who have been displaced & those living on the frontlines. Where possible we need to help communities in Sudan rebuild their lives, help farmers return to their lands & provide meals to kids returning to school. #3YearsTooLong
