What is the world’s largest humanitarian programme that addresses hunger?

Be it any day of the year, the World Food Programme (WFP) has 5,600 trucks, 20 ships and 92 planes on the move, delivering food to the hungry around the world.

All of its work is devoted to people who cannot find food for themselves and their families. This organisation feeds around 86.7 million people in around 83 countries every year and is undoubtedly the world’s largest humanitarian programme that addresses hunger.

The World Food Programme (WFP) is an international community that is committed to end hunger, and achieve food security and improved nutrition. WFP was established in 1961 as an experimental food aid programme of the UN.

The experiment proved successful. Two-thirds of the work of the WFP today is in conflict-affected countries. It strives to eliminate the need for food aid in the coming years.
