What is happening in #Haiti demands the world's attention: Skyrocketing gang violence. Soaring inflation, and 4.9 million people hungry – nearly half the country.
Thank you & for showing the gravity of this dire humanitarian crisis.

Haiti, one of the poorest countries in the world, is plagued with gang violence and now at risk of famine. @MattRiversABC reports on the humanitarian crisis as armed groups control what supplies come into areas, leaving children with little or no food. abcn.ws/2XvP3JQ

Catastrophic: more than 23M people in the Horn of Africa are trapped in a hunger emergency.
Conflict, climate shocks & economic crisis are already wreaking havoc on this region – and now, the crisis in Sudan has pushed 1M+ people from their homes.

War means hunger.
Last year, more than 117 million people faced acute hunger primarily because of war and insecurity.
Civilians have suffered the deadly effects of armed conflict for too long.
It is time we live up to our promise to protect them.

Devastated crops.
Shattered livelihoods.
Lives are at stake.
#Somalia has done nothing to contribute to the #ClimateCrisis, yet they're paying the price for it.
6.5m Somalis are battling extreme hunger. 450k malnourished children are at risk of dying. The world must act ASAP.

While 345 million people face the threat of starvation around the world, we must urgently invest in short and long-term solutions to end hunger.
This global food crisis is simply too severe.

We’re proud to support . Their planes & helicopters make it possible to get life-saving food & assistance to people who need it around the world. Getting supplies & responders out is especially crucial as refugees flee fighting in Sudan for remote parts of Chad.

While the BSGI extension is welcome, 60 days is not enough. Predictability is key for global food security.
Planting season starts now & runs through September. If Ukrainian farmers don't know if they'll have access to international markets, is it worth growing anything at all?

Yesterday's agreement to extend will save lives. The world needs a thriving Ukrainian agricultural sector to stabilize global markets and bring food prices down for everyone.
