That England has had its three worst harvests on record inside the past five years really should be being treated as a much bigger cause for concern than is currently the case. www.businessgreen.com/news/4520171...

Today marks two years since the horrific attacks by Hamas and other armed groups on #Israel - in which 1,200 people were killed and 251 taken hostage in Gaza.

We mourn every civilian lost in those tragic attacks and all who have suffered since.

Two years of war in #Gaza.

Two years of devastation, displacement, hunger.

Despite these unprecedented conditions, WFP remains on the ground, adapting every day to reach families in need.

Gaza needs food and aid at scale. Only a ceasefire can make that possible.

On #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate the essential role of women in food security and nutrition.

Women farmers, scientists, policymakers, and community leaders drive change, yet they continue to face inequalities in access to land, resources, and decision-making spaces.

We are in a health financing emergency. This year, I ask Health Ministers to take:

One action to increase domestic financing.

One reform to reduce out-of-pocket costs.

One measurable result on maternal health, hypertension, immunization, or another national priority.
