Sudan is the world's largest humanitarian crisis. People in El Obeid lack food, water, and power as fighting escalates. Spoke to @BBCWorldatOne about what is needed to reach them safely: peace, access, and funding.
Acting Executive Director of the UN World Food Programme Carl Skau tells @JonnyDymond a humanitarian pause is needed to safely reach those caught up in conflict, in Sudan.

📍In the areas worst affected by the #Venezuela earthquakes, WFP is scaling up food assistance to displaced families in temporary shelters. Through integrated service centres, they can also access water, healthcare, and psychosocial support — helping meet urgent needs while they begin to rebuild.

Watch: These are the steps WFP takes to safely deliver hot meals to Ebola patients in eastern #DRCongo. 🔵 As Ebola spreads in communities already affected by conflict, displacement and hunger, food assistance is helping patients stay in care and supporting efforts to contain the outbreak.

🆘 Conflict is driving hunger in parts of #Nigeria to levels not seen in nearly a decade. At the same time, funding shortfalls are forcing aid to shrink. WFP can now reach only a fraction of those in need, leaving millions — especially children — without lifesaving food assistance. WFP's Serigne Loum explains ⤵️

This has to stop. Attacks on humanitarian assets and workers in Ukraine have been increasing. It is unacceptable. Humanitarians are not a target.
Today a @WFP armoured vehicle in #Ukraine was struck by an FPV drone while traveling back from Mezhova, Dnipropetrovsk region with a WFP truck that had offloaded food boxes for a distribution. Our staff are safe. Civilians and humanitarians must never be targets.
