In 2021, Western Africa faced unprecedented challenges, including protracted conflicts, health emergencies, climatic shocks, and economic problems.
MOGADISHU – The United Nations World Food Programme is delivering life-saving food and nutrition assistance to record numbers of people in Somalia, with over 4 million people a month receiving urgent humanitarian support to prevent famine in the face of the region’s worst drought in over 40 years.
The scale-up has helped keep the worst outcomes of Somalia’s hunger crisis at bay so far.
“Germany stands with the Afghan people, and we continue our engagement to help communities stand on their own feet,” said Katharina Spiess, BMZ’s Head of Division “Crisis management, Reconstruction and Transitional Development Assistance.
the United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS), operated by WFP on behalf of the humanitarian community, has resumed flights to Kabul, enabling humanitarian workers to reach Afghans.

Hunger is tightening its grip on more than 20 million people in Ethiopia who are facing a combination of conflict in the north and climate shocks – drought – in the south while dwindling resources mean food and nutrition support may run dry from next month, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) warned today.
In Haiti, where almost half the population is already food insecure, hunger is set to rise amidst increasing inflation, high costs of food and fuel and deteriorating security, warns the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). As criminal groups block roads, WFP continues to provide assistance to vulnerable Haitians and supports the humanitarian community with vital air and sea transport.
