We could lose our ability to reach hungry families unless we act quickly. BREAKING: "Halted Ukraine grain deal, funding shortages rattle UN food aid programs" – AP News Alert [SEND HELP NOW >>]( [View in browser]( [World Food Program USA.]( [DONATE]( {NAME}, The suspension of the Black Sea Grain initiative threatens to drive countless families in places like Ethiopia, Sudan and Yemen into starvation. For over a year, the key grain deal allowed urgently needed food and fertilizer to leave Ukraine's Black Sea ports. Those exports provided a lifeline for families bearing the brunt of the global hunger crisis in places like the Middle East and Africa. We need your help to avoid a catastrophic situation for families experiencing extreme hunger.

[GIVE NOW >>]( For children and families in Hunger Hotspots, survival is a daily struggle as food prices skyrocket. The situation is even more challenging in places where conflict and climate emergencies have made food nearly impossible to grow or access. In the Tigray Region of Ethiopia, ongoing conflict continues to disrupt the U.N. World Food Programme food distributions. Recently, for the first time in months, dozens of families in Tigray could receive food assistance from the U.N. World Food Programme. Many relied on camels or donkeys to transport their bags of grain home. [A woman carrying WFP-provided food by donkey. ]( A woman leads a donkey carrying U.N. World Food Programme bags of grain in Tigray, Ethiopia. [GIVE NOW >>]( Distributions are a critical tool for delivering food to families in Hunger Hotspots worldwide. Without the Black Sea Grain Initiative, we have to source grain elsewhere which comes with potentially higher costs and delayed deliveries. At a time when we are facing our biggest funding shortfall in 60 years, these higher costs mean we could lose our ability to reach millions of families in need – unless we act quickly. Humanitarians like you can make a huge impact by supporting the work of the U.N. World Food Programme while global markets are disrupted.
