Published purpose
The World Food Programme (WFP) is the United Nations' frontline agency in the fight against hunger. It responds to emergencies, saving lives by getting food to the hungry fast, and it also works to help prevent hunger in the future. With the support of DFATD and other donors, WFP is providing emergency food assistance to approximately seven million vulnerable people in Iraq and Yemen in 2014. In humanitarian emergencies, WFP focuses on providing food assistance to reduce acute malnutrition and food insecurity, and to protect livelihoods. Activities include: (1) providing assistance such as food, cash and family food parcels; (2) providing nutritional support to treat and prevent acute and chronic malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies; and (3) supporting school feeding programs.
