Last update: 10 hours agoFood Security Alert: WFP says hunger and malnutrition are worsening in Guinea-Bissau as June–August lean-season programmes face funding shortfalls, with about 130,000 people expected to reach crisis hunger levels and 73% lacking essential nutrients. School Nutrition Cuts: School meal support has already dropped from 283,400 children to around 152,000, leaving more than 130,000 without daily nutritious food. Maternal & Child Health Impact: WFP has also suspended distribution of specialized nutritious foods for children under two, affecting about 56,000 children during a critical growth period. Humanitarian Drivers: WFP links the strain to supply chain disruptions, higher costs tied to the Middle East crisis, and declining funding for its operations. Climate Resilience Funding: Separately, Guinea-Bissau is set to receive new resilience funding approved by the GEF’s Least Developed Countries Fund and Special Climate Change Fund, with projects aimed at reducing flood and coastal risks and improving food and water security.
