Your support today will save lives. [View in browser]( [World Food Program USA.]( [DONATE]( {NAME}, Families walk miles in scorching heat to receive their first meal of the day. Children use empty metal pots to shield themselves from the sun as they wait in line for food. And no one can escape the odor of garbage and sewage that intensifies everyday from the high temperatures. This is summer in Gaza. The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is working tirelessly to avert famine in Gaza and alleviate extreme hunger around the world, but the stifling heat is intensifying the risk of hunger and malnutrition. [With your first gift today, you can deliver lifesaving meals to people facing the worst forms of hunger.]( [RUSH MY GIFT]( As people worldwide face a long summer with high temperatures, your generosity is crucial. Extreme heat increases the risk of diseases, especially in places where there is a lack of clean water, food and medical supplies. Your gift today helps us deliver food as quickly as possible to people in danger of starvation. Last month, the U.N. World Food Programme: - Provided over 11 million meals and worked with community kitchens to provide 400,000 meals daily in southern Gaza and Gaza City. - Delivered food assistance across conflict frontlines for over 100,000 people throughout Darfur and South Kordofan in Sudan. - Prepared emergency food supplies to feed over half a million people in the Caribbean for several weeks, ahead of an expected destructive hurricane season in the Atlantic. We need to continue this lifesaving support this summer – your immediate action is more critical than ever.
