2005 was the most challenging year the humanitarian aid world had faced since World War II.

WFP Aviation supports the humanitarian community’s response to multiple complex emergencies through a combination of airlifts, airfreights and airdrops.

1999 was particularly challenging for WFP. The Programme was called upon to help more people than ever before. The crises in the North Caucasus, East Timor and Kosovo - particularly sensitive areas - tested WFP's capacity to reach those in need of food. Ongoing crises in Afghanistan, Angola, the Great Lakes region, Sudan and other emergency situations also posed major challenges.

The Aviation Annual Report is an overview of WFP’s air transport services in support of humanitarian response across the world through dedicated passenger service, strategic airlift, airfreight and airdrops.

In 2018, thanks to the support of contributing donor and implementing partners, WFP made a significant contribution in meeting the immediate food security needs and reducing the use and scope of negative coping mechanisms of 350,000 people identified as among the poorest and most food-insecure Palestinian communities across Gaza and the West Bank.

In 1999-2000, the world's poorest nations were repeatedly hit by both natural and man-made emergencies. From flooding in western Bangladesh and West Bengal in India to the collapse of the peace process in Sierra Leone, the number of humanitarian hot spots around the world demanding help from WFP and the international community continued to rise.
