Briefing by Joyce Msuya, Assistant Secretary-general for Humanitarian Affairs and Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator, on Behalf of Mr. Tom Fletcher, Under-secretary-general for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, on Conflict-related food insecurity: Framing the global dialogue: addressing food insecurity as a driver of conflict and ensuring food security for sustainable peace.
She said, “Humanitarian action is also essential to prevent and address hunger in conflict. When humanitarian access is denied, hunger and malnutrition rise – often with devastating consequences for civilians. Conflict parties must allow the rapid and unimpeded passage of impartial humanitarian relief and ensure humanitarians have the freedom of movement needed to carry out their work.
