"More than a week after catastrophic flooding hit Libya, more than 9,000 people are still missing. In the city of Derna, where the devastation is the worst, officials are warning that one-fifth of the city has been destroyed.

We’re working closely with our partners in Libya to support families through this unimaginable tragedy and ensure that survivors access the lifesaving care and assistance that they need.

The stories and images from Derna are nightmarish. Survivors recall hearing the sound of an explosion as the dams burst open, releasing a torrent of water into the city. In mere minutes, entire neighborhoods were violently swept away, leaving nothing but rubble and disease-ridden floodwaters. Families had no time to escape.

The scale of devastation is simply unfathomable.

Now, as survivors face incredible trauma and loss, they’re also struggling to meet their basic needs in the wake of this disaster. Thousands of families have been displaced and are now reliant on humanitarian assistance for shelter, food, and medical care.

Access to clean water has been seriously jeopardized, and we fear that the stagnant floodwaters will trigger an outbreak of deadly waterborne diseases like cholera.

Our teams have been engaging with local partners in Libya since day one. We’re working closely with their teams to support their lifesaving recovery efforts however we can. Our main priorities at this moment are ensuring that survivors have access to food, medical care, hygiene kits, and clean water."

ACTION AGAINST HUNGER BUILDING BATHROOMS FOR GIRLS!

"Imagine having to drop out of school and give up on your dreams because your school didn’t have a bathroom for you to use.

For far too many girls around the world, this is their reality. Oftentimes, communities in developing countries do not have the resources to build safe, clean bathrooms for students. Once girls hit puberty, going to a school without bathrooms becomes extremely uncomfortable, forcing many to abandon their studies.

At the same time, these girls are often facing external pressures to drop out of school. Far too many people continue to undervalue young women’s potential and the importance of giving girls an equitable education. And when it gets difficult for a family to put food on the table or find clean water, girls are often responsible for these tasks, sacrificing their education.

Because of all of this and more, 1 in 5 girls in developing countries will not finish school.

All around the world, our teams work closely with communities to end hunger and ensure that more girls have the opportunity to continue their studies. We develop long-term hunger solutions by working with communities to improve food security, support women-owned small businesses, and expand job access. We fight to end the stigma around menstruation. And we invest in local, underfunded schools."

MIGRANTS IN ITALY!

THE HUNGER CRISIS IN YEMEN!

Meril Cullinan from Action Against Hunger:
"Today, 17 million Yemenis will go to bed hungry – including 2.2 million children. The hunger crisis in Yemen is one of the worst in the world.

Since this war began, our teams have worked tirelessly to save children from hunger and reach the most vulnerable communities. Providing services in the middle of a war is not easy, but our fearless, dedicated staff were able to help more than 200,000 people last year – primarily young children and women.

The families we support all have one thing in common – they dream of a peaceful, brighter future for their country.

We are hopeful that the newest peace talks will bring us one step closer to that future. But until that day, we remain relentless in our commitment to the Yemeni families we serve."

"Wednesday’s tragic news from Yemen is a stark reminder of just how severe and deadly this hunger crisis is."
Team Action Against Hunger

Families in Yemen are already facing daily threats on all sides: a violent war, the growing threat of starvation, deadly infectious diseases, rising food prices, and a water crisis fueled by climate change.

The 78 people who were killed waiting in line for food assistance were among the 17 million Yeminis who go to bed hungry each night, worrying about how they will keep their families alive tomorrow.

Right now, families in Yemen need relief and hope. Our teams are working around the clock to provide assistance and lifesaving treatment to the people most impacted by the hunger crisis here – just as we have done for more than 10 years.

EARTHQUAKE NUTRITION IN TURKEY AND SYRIA!
March 1, 2023 Report by Action Against Hunger

"The damage caused by the earthquakes forced people to lose their homes, jobs, and livelihoods. Now, food is even more difficult to access, which only adds to the stress of daily life after a disaster.

"Action Against Hunger provides ready-to-eat food rations to people affected by the earthquake to help them reach their recommended daily number of calories. Our teams also started a community kitchen in a village near Kahramanmaras, southern Turkey, which gives 3,000 people each day the chance to cook their own food. The kitchen is mainly run by volunteers who survived the earthquakes, who find support and community connection in their work.
“People who were in vulnerable situations before the earthquake took place are now at a higher risk of not being able to meet their basic needs, including food,” says Cristina Izquierdo, Nutrition and Health Coordinator for Action Against Hunger’s Emergency Team. She has been in Turkey since the day after the first earthquake hit."

“Moreover, those who were in a financially stable situation might not be able to, at least temporarily due to the shock, access markets due to disrupted food supply chain. Ensuring they have access to sufficient and nutritious food reduces their distress by making sure they can feed themselves and their family members, especially their children, leaving them room to focus on other pressing needs, such as finding shelter.”

"As with any disaster, Action Against Hunger has been adapting our emergency response to align with the local context and culture. Typically, food aid baskets include non-perishable goods like canned vegetables and fruits—foods not part of the usual diet in Turkey and Syria Our team is helping people receive a more diverse selection of foods, including fresh vegetables, fruit, oil, olives, grains, and yogurt, as well as high-protein items like chickpeas, chicken, and tuna, which are all common items in a Mediterranean diet."
Good job Action Against Hunger!!!

17-Year-Old Leading Hunger and Poverty Prevention Strategies

"Around the time most kids her age were half a brain stem deep into popular TV shows like iCarly or perhaps diving into the early days of Snapchat and Instagram, Lillian Petersen was tackling the world’s problems one line of computer code at a time.

"Lillian Kay Petersen grew up around computers and in an environment that fostered global thinking. Petersen’s father, Mark, creates ocean models on supercomputers that anticipate ocean activity. This work is vital to understanding the natural impacts of all life on earth. The beginning of Petersen’s vital work started in fifth grade when she learned to code. Around that same time, her parents adopted three younger children. Her new siblings had been growing up in poverty-stricken communities and Petersen saw, firsthand, how poor nutrition caused health problems. Petersen also learned about the ongoing Ethiopian droughts that have put millions of people at risk year after year and governments have been unable to overcome the plight. She recognized these hunger and poverty issues on a global scale and was inspired to begin monitoring satellite images and establishing a means to aid"

Congratulations Lillian👍👍👍

HUMANITARIAN NEEDS INCREASING IN TURKEY & SYRIA!

"The devastation we're witnessing in Turkey and Syria is difficult to put into words.

Entire neighborhoods that were once buzzing with businesses, homes and the laughter of children playing have been completely wiped out, replaced with the cries of people searching for loved ones under mountains of rubble.

With every minute that passes, there is a frantic search for survivors of the earthquakes, and there is concern about the thousands who are injured as well as the condition of those who have survived but cannot return to their homes. Temperatures are plummeting in the region and people are stranded with little to no belongings in harsh winter conditions.

Humanitarian needs are rapidly increasing by the minute."

PERU FIGHTS HUNGER!!!

"2022 began with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, triggering an unprecedented refugee crisis. The effects of this conflict soon spiraled across the globe, sparking a dangerous rise in hunger.
Team Action Against Hunger
As supply chains fell apart and inflation soared, it became harder and harder for families to put food on the table – especially those already facing hunger crises."
