The World Food Programme (WFP) has welcomed an €695 million donation from the United States to support food and nutrition operations for over 38 million vulnerable people across 37 countries. This funding comes at a critical time as the WFP faces significant shortfalls while acute hunger is expected to worsen in 13 global hotspots. UN agencies warn that conflict, funding shortages, and climate shocks are driving millions closer to famine, necessitating urgent action.
