🧵Our way forward is more knowledge & science - to assess what are the priorities, who are the most marginalized & where they are. Knowledge, to monitor & evaluate, helping to find the best solutions, and making governments and business accountable and responsible. #CFS53

HLPE-FSN at 15! We have called for a critical shift in food policy framework based on a food systems approach, expanding food security to incorporate sustainability and agency, anchored on the right to adequate food. The adventure continues ! More here : www.fao.org/cfs/cfs-hlpe...

Evidence-based policy making: for a demand-driven and inclusive approach

Formulating more effective food security and nutrition policies requires a deeper understanding of the underlying forces that drive food systems’ changes.

UNICEF @unicef.org · Oct 10

The news of a ceasefire brings a much-needed, long-overdue glimmer of hope for children and families in Gaza.

UNICEF is ready - we have a plan in place, supplies on the move, and a team on the ground providing children with life-saving supplies and services.

Maisara, 13, reacts to the ceasefire news in Gaza: I felt happy the moment I heard
the news about the ceasefire. Finally, I will return to my city in the north, because like all children, we are tired of war. We want to live our childhood again. What makes me even happier is that we will
no longer suffer from hunger.

Rasha, 13, reacts to the ceasefire news in Gaza: I miss my cousins. And we want to go visit them in the cemetery in East Bureij camp. And we want
to go see our families in Gaza. Since the ceasefire was announced, we have all
been happy.

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.
