Over the past two years, thousands of Syrian civilians have been killed and many more have been forced to flee their homes. Ertharin Cousin, Executive Director of the World Food Programme, has joined forces with other UN agencies to respond to this major humanitarian crisis.

The Black Sea deal with Russia allowed Ukraine to export more of its grain in the past year. Australia and the EU produced more food than was expected too.
