Typhoon Mirinae, which swept across the northern Philippines last weekend, dumped another 15 cm of rain on regions already severely flooded by previous storms. The fourth storm in little more than a month has made food assistance more important than ever.

Tunisian actress Hend Sabry saw the impact of WFP’s first food voucher scheme in the Middle East recently when she spent a day with a Palestinian family in Nablus. Her presence also put a smile on faces at a market where thousands of Palestinians spend the vouchers.
Students And Teachers
WFP is teaming up with British school children again this year through The Really Good School Dinner campaign. Every time pupils pay for a school dinner themselves, they donate 10 pence to WFP's campaign to provide meals to hungry school children in the developing world.
