WFP has reached 1.65 million with our 2nd round of food distributions in #Tigray. But our food stocks are running perilously low. More WFP trucks are loaded and waiting to get into Tigray, but unless they arrive soon our next round of distributions may have to be delayed.

Food comes at a cost, but the cost is not the same for everyone. On average, people in Sweden 🇸🇪 spend 0.7% of their daily income to buy a meal, but in South Sudan 🇸🇸 a whole day’s pay is not enough.

Cooking for loved ones. Sharing a meal with friends. A steaming plate of food. So much of our lives, our humanity, revolves around food. But global hunger is on the rise. 821 million people don't have the privilege of cooking and eating that simple #PlateOfFood #WorldFoodDay
