United Nations World Food Programme

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is the food assistance branch of the UN, and it is the world's largest humanitarian organization addressing hunger and promoting food security. Founded in 1961, the WFP provides food assistance in emergencies and works to improve nutrition and build resilience in communities affected by conflict, climate change, and economic instability. The organization operates globally, providing life-saving support to millions of people facing food insecurity, including during crises such as the ongoing conflict in Gaza, where it has recently reported on the escalating food crisis and the urgent needs of the local population.
