Hi Joan,

This is Ash again with World Food Program USA. It’s been a while - hope
this email finds you well!

I’m writing to share with you and Hunter the latest episode of our podcast
Hacking Hunger. We thought this episode might be of particular interest
given the ongoing focus in the media and within the international community
on how to reach besieged communities in Syria with humanitarian aid. We use
the podcast to share how the world comes together around food and to reveal
the invisible work being done to ensure this foundation of life is whole
for everyone.

*Episode 7: Breaking Through a Besieged Community in Syria *

"In a besieged town in Syria earlier this year, families had been boiling
grass to survive when word spread that the first delivery of food and
medicine to reach the area in 18 months was on its way. But when this
humanitarian convoy was blocked at a government checkpoint, the fate of
tens of thousands of Syrians fell hostage to the whims of a single army
commander. Hear from WFP’s Country Director in Syria who was on the convoy
about what happened next and learn how a displaced Syrian aid worker is
struggling to feed families cut off from aid. Go behind the scenes with
these two humanitarians as we reveal the logistical challenges they face
when trying to deliver food in one of the most dangerous and volatile
countries in the world.”
