WFP mobilizes to keep food moving as Middle East conflict escalates | World Food Programme As conflict in the Middle East escalates, the World Food Programme (WFP) is mobilizing one of its most complex emergency responses in years, including on behalf of the wider humanitarian community. We spoke to Ayman Soweilam in Cairo, Head of Field Support, about how WFP is ensuring urgently needed food keeps moving despite hugely disrupted supply chains, and how the agency was well prepared for an emergency on this scale.
