FILE - In this Aug. 25, 2019 file photo, a displaced Yemeni receives food aid provided by the World Food Program, at a school in Sanaa, Yemen. The World Food Program won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, Oct. 9, 2020 for its efforts to combat hunger amid the coronavirus pandemic, recognition that shines light on vulnerable communities across the Middle East and Africa that the U.N. agency seeks to help, those starving and living in war zones that may rarely get the world’s attention.
Still, WFP’s large-scale operations are considered indispensable in the Arab world’s poorest country, where 20 million people are suffering from a hunger crisis and another 3 million face starvation due to the knock-on effects of the pandemic. The agency helped avert famine two years ago. Now widespread flooding has displaced well over a half-million people, further complicating the efforts of the WFP and aid partners in reaching hard-hit areas with assistance as food prices rise amid the COVID-19 pandemic. And the threat of deadly violence remains a daily concern in what remains one of the world’s most dangerous countries for humanitarian workers. Just this week, gunmen fired on a WFP boat convoy carrying food aid to flood-stricken communities.
Indeed! As a member of the WFP Executive Board representing the DominicanRepublic I testify to the commitment, impact, and sacrifice of WFP staff, as they bring humanitarian assistance to all those in dire need everywhere —blind to their gender, skin color, or beliefs.
Good for Trump

World Food Program wins 2020 Nobel Peace Prize2020 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to the World Food Programme 'for its contribution to bettering conditions for peace in conflict-affected areas and for acting as a driving force in efforts to prevent the use of hunger as a weapon of war and conflict”. The Nobel peace prize is a sham. Trump actually brought PEACE to those conflict-affected regions, not just a few pallets of food It really shows the PEACE prize has absolutely nothing to do with creating PEACE Thank you. This will be very unsettling for the very insecure realDonaldTrump
